En español | These 10 beaches are usually wide-open and uncrowded enough to offer lots of room between sunbathers — always idyllic but particularly appealing in the COVID-19 era when social distancing is crucial. Just be sure to check for COVID-related closures and news and local rules, including quarantine requirements if you're from out of state, before you go.
