Craving sunshine and turquoise water at a toes-in-the-sand destination? Consider one of these seven best beach destinations for your next summer vacation with Club Wyndham. Pick your favorite, plan it out with the help of these 10 travel tips for family beach vacations, and then book it to the beach. Just don’t forget to pack the sunscreen.

No matter which beach you visit, make sure to load up on coral reef-safe sunscreen — an SPF product that uses physical UVA and UVB filters (like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) instead of chemicals that contribute to coral reef deterioration. FYI: Reef-safe sunscreen is now required in Hawaii, which began banning unsafe sunscreens this year. So save your skin and save the reefs.

1. Clearwater, Florida

Boasting soft, sugar-white sand that feels like velvet on your feet, Clearwater draws you in with its translucent, warm Gulf Coast waters — perfect for swimming, boating, or snorkeling. On Pier 60, go fishing, soak in a glorious sunset, or watch street performers. Stroll along the palm-lined Beach Walk Promenade or grab a cold beer at one of the breweries along the Gulp Coast’s craft beer trail.
