Between Hawaii and most of the coastline of California and Florida you really should not be hard pressed to find an Island-like getaway in the United States of America. Pick a kind of environment and we have it here somewhere. Probably cheaper than a Bahaman resort.

Or check the rules about Puerto Rico (a US territory) and the US Virgin Islands. I'm guessing a quick check of the new passport rules (ie: US citizens now required to flash the pass at Mexico and Canada borders, but not for Puerto Rico, maybe the VI???) might be a good indicator of what would be considered out of bounds.

As a Cali girl born and bred, I think the west coast is full of good options!
