Trunk Bay, located in the US Virgin Islands may just give Florida a run for its money, though. The beach itself is on St. John in the Caribbean, a place that is known for it’s secret beaches. Back in the 1950s, the Rockefeller family donated over 5,000 acres to the U.S. government, and it has since become a national park that anyone in the states can visit without a passport, and the easiest way to get there is to hop on a ferry from St. Thomas.
