America's healthiest beach and lake getaways (CNN)

We know your summer vacation time is precious: You want to land where you can truly relax, breathe fresh air, get in some exercise and eat well -- without breaking the bank. That's why we teamed up with a panel of travel and health experts to help us find the healthiest of the nation's most popular beach and lake towns.

2. Coronado, California

The West Coast has no lack of beach towns. But this one, about 2 miles from San Diego, is "a little slice of heaven," says judge and travel agent Lois Howes. The beach is wide, clean and uncrowded.

There are plenty of ways to get in exercise, too. "You can try surfing lessons or stick with favorites like tennis or biking," Dr. Joy says. Even the fast food here has a nutritious twist -- at Burger Lounge the patties are made with grilled turkey or organic quinoa. And trans fats are banned in all the restaurants.

Stay here: With childproof rooms, jogging strollers to borrow, and a separate concierge desk for kids, the Loews Coronado Bay Resort (starting at $249 per night) is about as family-friendly as it gets. Not bringing kids? The historic Glorietta Bay Inn (starting at $185 per night) is just a block from the beach.
