Surf City, New Jersey
Despite its energy-filled name, Surf City is actually the best place on the New Jersey Shore for quiet relaxation. Only a quarter mile wide, you are close to both the sea and the bay with plenty of shopping and delicious eateries in between. Although there is no boardwalk, simply stroll along the water’s edge and soak in one of most naturally beautiful beaches on the east coast.

You missed Destin FL beaches, definitely better than Clearwater or Boca Raton.
