8 idyllic islands in the United States

Brush Stroke

St. John, USVI

The U.S. Virgin Islands and their British counterparts took a very heavy hurricane hit in 2017, but they’re bouncing back and welcoming visitors again.

Brush Stroke

Anna Maria Island, FL

My favorite Gulf Coast island has an old Florida beach atmosphere. No chain eateries sit on Anna Maria Island's sandy streets, where golf carts and beach cruiser bicycles outnumber vehicles.

Brush Stroke

Jekyll Island, GA

The Georgia coastline is small in miles (it’s roughly 100 miles long) but mighty in views. And Jekyll Island, part of the Golden Isles, is a favorite place to find yourself on island time here.

Beaver Island, MI

Michigan residents live for the lazy, warm days of summer and all the fun to be had on the state’s centerpiece lake, Lake Michigan.

Brush Stroke

Sanibel Island, FL

Sanibel Island's beaches are so covered with seashells that people do the "Sanibel stoop" to find gems.

Brush Stroke

Kiawah Island, SC

About 25 miles southwest of Charleston, Kiawah Island is a favorite destination for a South Carolina beach vacation.

Brush Stroke

Kauai, HI

Tropical rainforests, emerald-hued valleys and some of the most incredible helicopter tours anywhere (two words: Napali Coast) await visitors to Hawaii’s Garden Isle.

Brush Stroke

Nantucket, MA

Cedar-shingled buildings and long, sandy beaches make Nantucket a great summer vacation spot near Cape Cod in Massachusetts.
