The most popular beach in the U.S. isn’t where you’d expect

Myrtle Beach came out on top

Myrtle Beach

When you think of the most beloved beach destination in America, your mind might drift to somewhere in sunny Florida or the California coast. But according to new 2025 search data, the beach topping everyone’s wish list isn’t in either state. It’s in South Carolina.

A recent study by PrivacyJournal analyzed Google search trends related to more than 100 popular beaches across the country, focusing specifically on out-of-state interest. By examining beach-related keywords like hotels, activities, and things to do, the study identified which beaches residents of each state searched for the most (excluding their own local shores). And the clear winner? Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

JSX quietly launches luxe new routes to Florida — here’s why you haven’t heard

JSX aircraft

Semi-private luxury airline JSX will begin flying to three new destinations, but don’t expect to hear much about them. That’s because the carrier doesn’t use standard airport terminals and faces restrictions on public advertising. In this case, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey prohibits public advertising of scheduled flights from Teterboro Airport, where the new routes originate.

For that reason, the carrier can only promote the routes via its loyalty program, Club JSX. Still, the new routes — to Miami, Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale — offer a tantalizing winter getaway for luxury-minded travelers.
