You don't have to head to either coast in order to get one of the best beach getaways.

That's because just north of Rockford, there's a tiny town that's "beloved for its lovely Green Bay beaches, wide biking trails, quaint downtown, and adorable waterfront cottages."

Best Life put together a list of the 17 Best Beach Getaways in America and primarily featured states on the west and east coast of America.

While each one of those destinations would be considered a fabulous summer vacation, only one was in the Midwest.
