How can anyone put miami beach and especially myrtle beach above St. John and St. Thomas? or above anything, reall? Have you ever seen the tropical, white sand, palm tree filled, amazing, clear, blue water beaches of the US virgin islands? Or Puerto Rico? Compare that to Miami beach, myrtle beach, or any beaches on the main land, you would understand this list is obviously not reliable. PS, there are more then one beach on St. John, St. Thomas, St. Croix, Puerto rico, and many, many beaches in Hawaii. a list of the top 10 beaches shouldn’t even include any beaches on the main land, except for maybe panama city beach and miami beach.

St. John is definitely one of my favorite places but for the whole family, I agree with the survey. My kids absolutely love Myrtle Beach.
