6. Kansas: Pensacola Beach
Because the state is completely landlocked without major natural beachfronts at home, Kansans routinely make the long pilgrimage south down the interstate to reach the Gulf Coast. Pensacola Beach serves as the ultimate, unofficial drive-to getaway for Kansas residents desperate for a true seaside escape. Seeking out its soft, bright white quartz sand, incredibly warm emerald Gulf waters, and lively pier, families from the plains claim this stretch of the Florida panhandle as their quintessential summer vacation destination.
