Skip the tropics, explore Alaska beaches this spring break

Spring break is right around the corner. Many people are dreaming of tropical beaches, but the Alaska coast has a lot to offer. Alaska has more coastline than all other states combined, and while the beaches aren’t always sandy and sunny, there is plenty of fun to be had.

Explore hidden beaches along the coast in Nome, soak in nearly 360-degree ocean views from the Homer Spit or lounge on a sandy beach by a lake in Anchorage. Make a checklist of Alaska beaches, and try to see them all. Here’s a roundup from Westmark Hotels to get started.
