Only In Your State has released its list of the 14 most “unique” beaches in the U.S., listing shores with a “one-of-a-kind” appeal for visitors.

The two top spots on the list were Kaihalulu Beach and Papakolea Beach in Hawaii, though one location can be found right here in the Sunshine State.

Sitting at No. 9 is Dry Tortugas National Park, located dozens of miles off of Key West.

The national park spans seven islands and features around 100 square miles — mainly water — with coral reefs, the historic Fort Jefferson, and a litany of beaches.

Campsites can be found on Garden Key (where Fort Jefferson is located), though the only way to get there is by seaplane or boat, so you’ll have to make your choice.
