Anna Maria Island

Coquina Beach on Anna Maria Island has the best island beach sand in the United States and the fifth-best in the world, according to the Conde Nast Traveler.

"Coquina Beach, on the southern end of Anna Maria Island, is the opposite of South Beach: It’s laid-back, bordered by towering pines, and boasts perfect, unspoiled sand as fine as powder," the website said. "It’s also the longest stretch of sand on Anna Maria — uninterrupted, but for remnants of old piers jutting out into the water."

Here's the complete "Top 10 Island Beaches for Perfect Sand:"

1. Whitehaven Beach, Whitsunday Island, Australia.
2. Cayo de Agua, Los Roques, Venezuela.
3. Cocoa Island, Maldives.
4. White Beach, Boracay, Phillippines.
5. Coquina Beach, Anna Maria Island.
6. Shoal Bay East, Anguilla.
7. Vamizi Beach, Quirimbas Archipelago, Mozambique.
8. Kaihalulu Beach, Maui, Hawaii.
