Top U.S. Beach Destinations
99 Problems But A Beach Ain’t One!
We always get asked where the best beaches are for Bachelorette weekends, so we decided to compile a list of the BEST beaches and things in surrounding cities for the perfect weekend!
We are heading to Destin, Florida! This is a popular spot for spring breakers and for the best bachelorette weekends! Destin is known for sand that will remind you of sugar and water that will remind you of the prettiest gems.
Of course you’ll have your toes in the sand and a margarita in your hand, but let's talk about where you will lay your pretty little head for some beauty sleep.

The Henderson is a beautiful luxury hotel on the shore of Destin. This reminds us of Taylor Swift’s gorgeous manor in Rhode Island! It has great amenities such as twice a day housekeeping services, iPhone docking stations, and gorgeous balconies! You can not go wrong with staying here, it's a whole tropical vacation right here in the states!
Pull your hair into a messy bun, grab a mimosa and head out the door, we are going to Crackings for brunch!
When I say this place has everything… I mean everything! It's a food lover's dream! They accommodate every allergy and food preference you could ever think of: gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan. They have an extensive menu for both sweet and savory.
While we may think that Brunch is the most important meal of the day, we still have to think about the other meals. ;)
After a long day of lounging on the beach with your best beaches you’ve probably worked up an appetite, so let's fix that. Our suggestion? Louisiana Lagniappe.
This restaurant sells the freshest seafood and the juiciest steak with a cajun ~flare~. It has won the Award of Excellence many times, so this is definitely something you need to try!

Put on that little black dress and head on over to 1835 Porch Bar! 1835 is a waterfront bar that serves local craft beers, delicious appetizers and unique cocktails. While you’re there be sure to get the Watermelon Daisy: bourbon, miny, watermelon, simple syrup, and house citrus.
You all want them, so we found them! We found the 45oz fun bowl cocktails at Village Door! They have a wide variety of fun bowls, different flavors of daiquiris and both domestic and imported beers. This is definitely the place to be when you’re out on the town in Destin!
Pack your bikinis and your bougiest purse we are going to Orange County, California, more specifically Laguna Beach!
Laguna Beach is special and our next destination because of its unique coves, tide pools and the beautiful bluffs! It’ll definitely have you feeling all of the vibes.

GIRL! Let me tell you about this brunch place, Kitchen In The Canyon is the place to BE! They have an extensive menu that ranges from the juiciest chicken and waffles to
a wide variety of burritos and benedicts! Any hunger craving can be combated here!
Not only do they have a great food menu, but their smoothie and beverage menu is some of the most unique we have ever seen!

For me, this dinner pick was a no-brainer because I have heard influencers RAVE about this restaurant! We are dining at Nick’s Laguna Beach! Nick’s serves American cuisine and of course, delicious seafood! This dining experience takes place on a chic patio, definitely Instagram worthy. We’ve heard that their whipped mashed potatoes are *chefs kiss*!
After we get our stomachs full we are heading out for a night on the town! Our first stop is on the rooftop of La Casa del Camino, a hotel in Laguna Beach, simply called The Rooftop Lounge. This place is awesome to catch the Cali sunset with a mojito in one hand and a delectable appetizer in the other!

While we love the nautical, coastal vibes sometimes we like something more warm and sultry, so we are getting our whiskey on at Marine Room Tavern! This bar is known for its awesome live entertainment, whiskey flights, and the best part… super affordable drinks! Have a chill night with your girls playing pool and cool drinks.
Alright ladies, we are heading to see our man, John B… That's right, we are going to Outer Banks, North Carolina!

Outer Banks is not only a Netflix original, but it is also a beautiful chain of islands off of the coast of North Carolina. This is your stereotypical, cute coastal town with little nautical antique shops and breathtaking beaches!

Since Outer Banks is a chain of islands, we narrowed it down, based on our bachelorette clientele to Hatteras Village. Hatteras is known for its shopping, nightlife, playful beaches and rentals such as bicycles to take around the island!
The Inn On Pamlico Sound is a cute, quaint hotel that has oceanfront views. The Inn wants you to feel like you’re at your home away from home, the only things you need to bring are your clothes… and swimsuits, of course! You have the opportunity to use their standup paddle boards and movie theater for your party. This for sure could be your home away from home for the weekend!

Before we head out to the beach to catch some rays or to shop all day, we have to of course get a bloody mary, so we are going to Cafe Pamlico! This menu has some awesome breakfast cocktails that are sure to satisfy any craving. They have menu items to cover your savory needs with shrimp and grits and to satisfy your sweet needs with a fluffy belgium waffle!

You can’t go to Outer Banks without getting some kind of seafood, so for dinner we are suggesting Rusty’s Surf and Turf! Rusty’s can accommodate any kind of dietary need, so everyone will be able to find something to fit their lifestyle! Even if you don't like shellfish, which we heard is amazing, they have steak and pasta options! Who can say no to pasta?!
After you eat some good food, go have some cocktails at Turner’s High Moon Bar, you deserve it! Turner’s is known for their live music, specialty cocktails (some are even served in a whole pineapple), and their locally sourced beer.

The Wreck Tiki Bar & Food is appealing to those who want a super chill night with the girls, maybe the night before you leave! You can grab your drink, watch the sunset on their deck and reminisce on your single days before you tie the knot soon! Drink some locally sourced beer and put your feet back while you eat your homemade pretzel! A perfect way to end a trip.
I hope you enjoyed our list of fun, beautiful and memorable beaches to spend your weekend with your right hand gals! At all of these locations you have the opportunity for nights out on the town or for cozy nights in with your ladies.
