Over this past holiday weekend, the Mexican Soccer Federation and Liga BBVA MX announced the schedule for the upcoming 2021 Apertura season. As has been the case for the last month, FC Juarez has all of sudden become the preseason media darlings in both Mexico as well as the United States after the club announced that they had hired Ricardo “Tuca” Ferretti as their head coach.

Needless to say, when the season begins in approximately 3 weeks time, that attention will continue to see if Ferretti, his staff and the new front office, led by new president Miguel Angel Garza, can deliver.

The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
