The Top 4 Beaches on the East Coast
Jekyll Island, Georgia
Lying off the coast of Georgia, this 5, 700-acre barrier island is famous for its nesting sea turtles and hermit crabs. Glory Beach got its name because producers of the1989 movie Glory, featuring Matthew Broderick. Morgan Freeman, and Denzel Washington built a long boardwalk to the beach that remains in place.
Block Island, Rhode Island
Accessible by ferry, Block Island shows New England charm. It's worth the effort to get to Mohegan Bluffs, where you can experience a set of 141 wooden steps leading down to the sand. With clay cliffs(陶土崖)and a view that reaches Montauk at the eastern tip of Long Island, this beach is especially unique.
Nantucket, Massachusetts
Great point, at the easternmost end of the island of Nantucket, is one of the most secret beaches in the world. That's because you need a four-wheel drive vehicle and a beach permit to get there. Once you do, you'll find miles of beachfront and a historic lighthouse.
East Hampton, New York
Named the best beach in the county in 2013, Main Beach in East Hampton is known for its wide stretch of sand plus a snack(点心)bar, bathrooms and lockers. On-site parking is only available to local village people but there are free beach shuttles(班车)available.
