Hilton Head Island has the second-best beaches in the U.S., according to women's-interest website Bustle.

The island beat out Outer Banks, N.C. and others, including beaches on Hawaii, in an online list of the nation's top 10 beaches. South Beach in Miami was ranked No. 1.

Bustle cited Hilton Head's mix of "sleepy beach-town charm ... plenty of opportunities to party and touch of antebellum refinement" as reasons for its ranking.
