Beach season is upon us. Realtor.com dug through its database to find the most expensive beachfront locales in America. It limited its scope to beach cities with populations between 1,000 to 100,000 and that had at least 30 properties on the market. And to ensure some geographic diversity, Realtor.com capped its list to two towns per state separated by at least 30 miles. 

Here are the top 10 most expensive beach towns to buy a home — each of which has a median home price over $1.4 million.
