If you’ve ever been to a beach, you know it’s kind of like, “meh.” There’s the sand (gross), the unrelenting sunshine in your face (ugh!) and the water that’s full of salt and slimy creatures. And don’t even get us started on the bikinied bodies running around pretending to have a good time. (Puh-lease.)

It’s so hard to find a decent beach these days, or ever in the history of land meeting water. Off the top of our heads we can't recommend any beaches you’d be genuinely excited about, but these 11 beaches are ones you should definitely steer clear of... because does anyone really want to feel sand between their toes?
