North of Green Bay on the remote Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin, you'll find a beautiful beach. But you won't find sand. Instead, you'll find the shores of Schoolhouse Beach populated by smooth limestone rocks, one of only five beaches like it in the world. As much as you may be tempted, don't try to take a souvenir rock with you: it's illegal.

On some beaches, you can find a guy with an acoustic guitar. At Jones Beach on New York's Long Island, you can find the full-service Jones Beach Amphitheater. Recently renamed Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater, the Live Nation-operated venue welcomes in major touring acts each summer in a spectacular setting overlooking the water from the popular Jones Beach. Many events for 2020 have been canceled.

When it comes to beaches in America, Michigan is often overlooked. But it shouldn't be. With 3,228 miles of coastline, the Wolverine State boasts the longest freshwater coastline in the country thanks to its shared border with four of the five Great Lakes. The state is also home to some of the most stunning beaches in the country, including Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

About 30 miles north of Boston in the town Manchester-by-the-Sea, Singing Beach is one of America's more curious beach attractions. While the beach doesn't exactly sing as the name suggests, the sand does often emit a notable squeaking sound when stepped on dry during the right conditions. The sound is believed to be caused by friction between grains of sand.

While black sand beaches are not a terribly uncommon sight in Hawaii and Alaska, they are rare on the U.S. mainland. Black Sands Beach in Shelter Cove, California, is a dramatically gorgeous beach hidden within the state's often overlooked Lost Coast, which is not accessible via any major roads

Near the northern terminus of the iconic Highway 1, beach seekers will find a most unusual sight at Bowling Ball Beach in Point Arena, California. at the northern edge of Schooner Gulch State Beach, the beach is named for the giant bowling ball-shaped rocks that can be seen off its coastline at low tide.

In a town known as "The Shark Tooth Capital of the World," it makes sense that you can find shark teeth on its beaches. And one of the most popular spots to dig up the remains of fossilized shark teeth is Caspersen Beach in Venice, Florida. The town's location makes it an ideal end point for prehistoric shark teeth washing onto shore.

Laguna Beach, California, is renowned for hosting some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Yet its most unique beachfront attraction is the Pirate Tower of Victoria Beach, a mind-blowing sight carved into the bluffs. Also known as "La Tour" (French for tower), the 60-foot castle-styled structure was built in 1926 and today is a quintessential Southern California Instagram backdrop.

Not to be confused with nearby Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, Pfeiffer Beach in Los Padres National Forest near Big Sur hides a most unusual sight for beachcombers: purple sand. At the end of an unmarked road, this easy-to-miss spot gets its purplish hue from manganese minerals in the surrounding cliffs. The purple coloring is not always visible and best viewed at sunset just after it rains.

In the Siuslaw National Forest along the central Oregon coast, Cape Perpetua Scenic Area is a jaw-dropping forested wonderland famous for a massive natural sinkhole called Thor's Well. Best viewed during high tide, the mysterious hole seems to swallow up large volumes of seawater that crashes upon its shore.
