The ones in red are on the West coast of Florida as someone pointed out....

Living in Florida... I dont know of a beach town in the state I havent been too... So... Not counting Florida.....

I have been to beaches in all of the coastal US states except Texas and Oregon and Washington state. Oh and a great beach in Northern Idaho...at Sandpoint. And dont forget the concrete beach in Chicago!!! Honorable mention to the nude beaches in Jamaica and Sarasota....

International Beaches include:
Capri and Naples Italy (The blue grotto rocks..)
Nice France
North coast of Jamaica
Montego Bay Jamaica
Bahamas and a slew of those unknown islands

Martinique
St Thomas
Nova Scotia
Ohau and Kawaii, Hawaii...yeah I know its in the US...but its a long haul from Florida so I consider it International..
Bermuda
Mexico...gulf side... want to see the Pacific side one day
Corfu

And in my opinion...the best sand and sunset is in my backyard...Clearwater Beach, Florida

I'll work on it. Probably a couple hundred. Gosh, traveling to the beach for over 50 years...they add up. I'm sure I've been to a hundred little beaches in Texas. They all seem to have their distinctive character and name.

It was neat reading all the names of YOUR beaches. Makes me want to pack up and go to the Caribbean for an island hopping trip to SUM BEACH.

Does Hippy Hollow on Lake Travis near Austin count as a beach?

I'll just list some of my favorites that I remember in each state I've been to.

Texas (with 600 miles of coastline, what great choices)
Lighthouse Beach--Lavaca Bay (closest to get to, good kayaking area)
Magnolia/Indianolia Beach (close to home, great shrimping, dolphin watching)
Arasas National Wildlife Refuge --Black Jack Peninsula(whoopers)
Fulton Beach near Rockport.
West Beach by San Luis Pass (Between Galveston and Surfside)
East Beach Galveston (for birding) unique
Malaquite Beach (North Padre by Laguna Madre, wildlife)
Boca Chica Beach and Isla Blanca Beach (Dolphin Cove) So Padre (surfing, turtles, dolphins, sealife)
Pass Cavallo, J Hook, Sunday Beach --Matagorda Island ...fishing, bird watching, wild life
Port Aransas Beach near jetties for everything
