Bye Bye, South Beach
... But what if you’re tired of all the blaring radios, groups of college kids throwing footballs, and crowds? Miami is also home to peaceful beaches where you can set up your chair beneath swaying palm fronds and barely be able to hear the conversation of your distant neighbors. If this is your ideal day at the beach, it is time to say goodbye to South Beach and discover beaches that visitors don’t usually see.

You’ve seen it on television, but it’s so much more fun in person to stroll the Walk of Fame where Hollywood’s icons are immortalized with a star on the sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard. You can’t help but be star struck when you check out some of the 2,400 Hollywood stars for the famous actors, actresses, directors and other notables in the business.

Montauk's Wide Open beaches
Montauk, also known as “The End,” is not only a quintessential beach town on the South Fork but arguably the most storied community on Long Island.

Nine Reasons to Visit Cape Cod: New England’s Summer Playground
A man may stand there and put all America behind him. Henry David Thoreau
Pristine sandy beaches, ice cream, and baseball. Cape Cod is the quintessential New England Summer vacation experience. “The Cape” as it is known by New Englanders, is the peninsula of land that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean from southeastern Massachusetts.
