The idea of sprawling out with the kids in front of an expansive ocean is universally alluring. But being cheek by jowl (by blaring earbud) with fellow tourists in the confines of a megaresort can leave a lot to be desired. To make sure that your vacation reality resembles a fantasy, Cookie has tracked down three islands in the U.S., Mexico, and the Bahamas that are still unspoiled, uncrowded, and inexpensive. With intimate hotels that treat you like a longtime resident rather than a room number, and beaches that seem to belong exclusively to your brood, these destinations will make you feel like honest-to-goodness locals in no time.
