You likely won’t have to travel far to experience some of America’s “best” beaches.
Three California beaches were named among the “Best of the Best Beaches” in the United States, according to a report from Tripadvisor.
The list included only three California beaches: La Jolla Cove (4th), Coronado Beach (23rd) in San Diego, and Santa Monica State Beach (18th) in Santa Monica.
