Something about small towns is usually quietly magical. The rhythm can be more relaxed, the streets may appear more peaceful, and the details can be more prominent in big cities where they are often crowded. In the United States, most of the small towns seem to have left a first-time visitor with a pleasant surprise, whether it is the landscape, buildings or season. Others look almost like a storybook, and some are all too familiar, as though they had been waiting to be found. Towns such as these may sometimes be the most surprising experience of a visit, simply because they are sincere and friendly to associate with.
Sedona, Arizona
Sedona tends to attract notice due to the vivid formations of red rocks and vast deserted skies. The town itself is very laid back and has art galleries and quiet cuts that can prompt the visitor to take their time and enjoy the view that the town offers.
Bar Harbor in Maine
Bar Harbor is located close enough to Acadia National Park, and the views of the coast can be cool and relaxing. A stroll through the waterfront or a tour through the surrounding trails may give one the answer to why so many visitors appear to gravitate towards this part of New England every year.
Beaufort in South Carolina
Beaufort frequently creates an impression of elegance, with a view of the sea and a row of trees along the streets and old houses. The slow lifestyle of the place could make their visitors want to hang around and observe the minor details that make the place special.
Hood River in Oregon
Hood River is located in a place where the Columbia River Gorge and the mountains collide in a manner that is expansive. Even the town itself appears to be friendly, and the changing light on the river can be the object of interest sometimes.
Mystic, Connecticut
Mystic is laden with a maritime tradition, which seems to have become part and parcel. Weatherboard piers, old vessels and deserted streets can evoke a nostalgic and yet energetic effect, particularly around the waterfront zones.
Fredericksburg in Texas
Fredericksburg carries with it much of a German influence in architectural designs and the customs of the people. The rural environment and slower speed can provide the visitors with the feeling of space and peace, and it is easy to feel comfortable in the town and explore it.
Jackson, Wyoming
Jackson is near the Grand Teton National Park, and the landscape surrounding it seems extensive and open. The town can be rustic with wooden boardwalks and mountain scenery, which most travelers will recall even after departure.
Cape May in New Jersey
Cape May boasts colorful Victorian houses and a coastal location. Every turn of its streets could make one feel like they’re in a movie because every single house has its own story, which contributes to the unique personality of the town.
