Hunting Island is the top beach on the East Coast.

At least that’s what voters have said so far. The state park is up for the top beach on this side of the country in USA Today Readers’ Choice voting.

Hilton Head Island’s Coligny Beach Park is also a choice.

Readers may vote once per day until March 14.
