They all look great. I'd be more than happy to go to any one of them.

I would not ever put Puerto Vallarta on a top 10 beach location.

OK then....I'd be more than happy to go to any one of them, except Puerto Vallarta.

These are all nice Beaches, but post say's Spring Beach
Burmuda and Outer Banks are great Summer beach, but too cold for spring, onlest you just want to sit onshore and look at the water
Spring Beach has to be in the Caribbean Ocean not Atlantic

I see a lot of kids and teenagers being bumped by parents to go to one of these locations.

I think they are taking some liberty in saying these are top beach destinations. I believe what they have done is taken top destinations that happen to have a beach and called them beach destinations when in reality the main reason for visiting is NOT the beach. Santa Monica CA would probably not be on the list if people were picking a place only because of the beach. The water is very cold in the spring. In fact it is not very warm in the summer. I agree that Puerto Vallarta has pretty poor beaches though Nuevo Vallarta has excellent beaches. All air traffic to Nuevo Vallarta goes through Puerto Vallarta so they probably count them as being PV visitors as they are only 20 or so miles apart.

That is not necessarily true. Nuevo Vallarta on the Pacific ocean has excellent beaches and the water is just as warm as the Caribbean in the Spring.

Personally, I think the beach in Cancun is better than Cabo and Puerto Vallarta.

Puerto Vallarta has lousy beaches but Nuevo Vallarta ( 20 miles north ) has very good beaches that I prefer over Cancun.
