Ahhh . . . the family beach vacation. It’s as all-American as apple pie, a time-honored tradition where some of the best childhood memories are made. Everyone has their favorite sands, but when it comes to family-friendly options, not all are created equal. We’ve picked ten great family beaches across the country that parents and kids alike are guaranteed to love – whether for their gentle surf, range of activities, sand-castle potential, or educational elements. So pack up the car, hit the road, and, whatever you do, don’t forget the SPF.

1. Cannon Beach
Set against verdant old-growth forests and punctuated by giant rock monoliths, including the 235-foot high Haystack Rock, quaint and kid-friendly Cannon Beach, lies just 80 miles west of Portland, Oregon. While the Pacific waters here are often too cold for swimming, kite flying, along with tide pooling and sandcastle building, reign supreme on this wide sandy beach – and the kites sold at the town's weathered cedar-wood-clad shops make the perfect summer vacation souvenir. Every June brings Sandcastle Day (June 16 this year), when kids of all ages can enter one of the West Coast's largest sandcastle-building contests.
