Yachting Monthly, published “across the pond” in the U.K., recently listed their 10 Best Spots to Cruise in the U.S. in their “Sailing America” feature.
They note that the United States presents nearly endless cruising opportunities for visiting sailors, as America boasts the world’s eighth-longest coastline.
They write:

Yet America’s best white-sand beaches are found along the Gulf Coast. If you are cruising the tip of Florida, consider tucking around to its southwest side.
There you will find shallow-water cruising along the edge of Everglades National Park, 10,000 Islands National Wildlife Refuge, and the sugar-white beaches of Sanibel Island, Captiva, and Pine Island Sound.
