If you're looking for a nice beach in the South Florida area, I recommend going to Hutchinson Island/Jensen Beach. It's close to Stuart, Florida which is slightly north of West Palm Beach. It would be about a 2.5 hour drive from Miami. The beaches there aren't crowded since they're mostly for the people that own vacation homes there (but it's still a public beach). There are real surfing waves there which is really hard to find in Florida. The sand isn't all pebbles and the water is bright blue...it looks like the water you'd see in the Caribbean.
I forgot to add a beach to my list. Abroad, my favorite beach would be any beach on the island of St. Maarten. The water is bright blue and it's warm. The sand is like powder. The beach is absolutely gorgeous because it's on a tropical island but there are these beautiful green hills that run along the beach.
