Of course, beauty is subjective, but there are some things on which we can all agree. A charming downtown oozing with character, sparkling waves under the glow of a sunset, and wide-open ranges void of human handprints are all undeniably beautiful in their own ways.<\/p>\n

Not too long ago, we curated a list of our favorite beautiful towns in America<\/a>, and we\u2019re back at it again. From endearing architecture and preserved nature trails to serene coastlines and mountaintop views, we\u2019re bringing you even more pretty towns and cities from sea to shining sea.<\/p>\n

Explore the destinations below, and you, too, will find beauty in this world.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take the windy road that hugs the San Bernardino Mountains to arrive on the banks of Big Bear Lake. Whether snow is effortlessly draping the pine trees, or wildflowers are springing up along the trails, this lakeside resort is picturesque anytime of the year. Admire the aqua lake from afar as you weave down Bear Mountain on skis or settle in for a meal at The Pines Lakefront for front-row views of the sparkling shore.<\/p>\n

As you stroll along Staunton\u2019s Main Street, the word \u201ccharming\u201d doesn\u2019t quite do it justice. Maybe it\u2019s the sense of history\u2014some of the homes and buildings date back to the late 18th century\u2014or perhaps it\u2019s the hazy blue outline of the Shenandoah ridges in the distance. Whatever it is, this idyllic mountain town makes you feel right at home. Download Traipse, an app that lets you explore and learn about the town in new ways, or dedicate an afternoon to eying the creative exhibits at the Staunton Augusta Art Center.<\/p>\n

Hanover certainly gets some points in the pretty department thanks to Dartmouth College\u2019s regal campus\u2014Baker-Berry Library is a beaut in and of itself. Yet the town in the Upper Connecticut River Valley has its own allure up its sleeve. Set along the Connecticut River, Hanover\u2019s quaint Main Street connects with the Appalachian Trail, one of the most treasured hikes on the East Coast. Picnic along the peaceful water at Storrs Pond Recreation Area and find your Zen at the Mink Brook Nature Preserve for some scenery at its finest.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve heard being by the water is good for the soul and Bay St. Louis is the perfect place to test it. Surrounded by the bay and marshlands, this pretty little coastal town is a sailor\u2019s delight. Stroll to the marina and listen for the sound of sailboats creaking against the dock, or build sandcastle masterpieces on the shore at the end of Main Street. You\u2019ll find beauty in touring the quirky Gallery 220 Main art gallery, searching for Dayle Lewis\u2019 angel trees, and watching the neighbors gather for a chat on the porches of shotgun cottages.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The prettiest cities in the U.S. are scattered across the nation, but when it comes to Oklahoma, look no further than Medicine Park. Dubbed the state\u2019s only cobblestone resort community, the region is famous for the granite rocks that emerge from beneath the ground, creating a natural cobblestone effect. While you\u2019re in town, dabble in the splendor: Plunge into the swimming hole at stunning Bath Lake, or search for American bison roaming the grassy prairie in the neighboring Wichita Mountains.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The search for beautiful small towns will always lead you to Thermopolis, the Gateway to Yellowstone County. Find your way to Hot Springs State Park, where you\u2019ll discover the best seat in the house to enjoy nature\u2019s grandeur, from the gigantic mineral deposit formations to the scorching hot water cascades. To uncover more beauty in this world, set your sights on the Legend Rock State Petroglyph Site, which reveals nearly 300 depictions from prehistoric cultures, dating back as far as 500 A.D.<\/p>\n

Heber City is the kind of place where the scenery is so magnificent that it\u2019s almost distracting. Located in the Heber Valley, the area is defined by its stunning backdrop of mountain ranges. Climb aboard the Heber Valley Railroad and chug past Mount Timpanogos and the Deer Creek Dam and Reservoir\u2014and keep your eyes peeled for moose and elk along the way! To really immerse yourself in Heber\u2019s au natural appeal, book a fly fishing trip with Fish Heads Fly Shop for a guided adventure on the nearby Provo River.<\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s heard of the Grand Canyon, but have you ever actually stopped to admire its magnificence? Carved by the Colorado River, this gigantic canyon exposes vibrant shades of orange in its ancient rock structure, decorating its 277-mile course. Hoof it along the Bright Angel Trail to experience the call of the wild, or sit back and soak up the desert scenery from the comfort of a passenger train on the Grand Canyon Railway.<\/p>\n

When picturing the most beautiful places in the United States, your mind often wanders to the paradisiacal Hawaiian Islands. In fact, Haleiwa just may be the idyllic escape you dreamt up, with its perfectly curled waves and colorful surfboards lined up outside the shops. You\u2019ll soon realize why Oahu\u2019s North Shore is known the world over for its legendary surf spots, but the swirling cotton candy sunsets at Haleiwa Joe\u2019s are what will leave an ever-lasting impression on your memory.<\/p>\n

Grand Lake is known as the Western Gateway to the Rocky Mountain National Park, but not so fast. Before you make a beeline for the park, admire the beauty within this lakeside town. Its namesake is the state\u2019s largest natural lake, and it\u2019s a delight to watch the sail boats catch the wind and glide around the water. On a warm day, explore the historical Grand Lake Boardwalk and look for the hitching posts. But when the snow starts coming down, snowmobile along Main Street or hit the groomed trails.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

11. Hagerstown, Maryland<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s beauty to be had in a place that embraces its past. That\u2019s just what you\u2019ll find in Hagerstown, a city celebrating its narrative with four designated historic districts and preserved landmarks in semi-rural Western Maryland.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

12. Yankton, South Dakota<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Boasting a range of good-looking attractions, like the Missouri National Recreational River, Dakota Spirit Fountain, and the 6th Meridian hop farm, Yankton is what we like to call a knockout.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

13. McCloud, California<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The epic views of Mount Shasta certainly don\u2019t hurt McCloud in the beauty department, but the town has its own claims to fame, from its River Falls Trail to the historic Main Street District.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

14. Irvington, New York<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

How attractive is Irvington? From its sweeping views of the Hudson, sprawling acres of woodland, and admirable 19th-century architecture, it\u2019s much too pretty to count the ways.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

15. St. Augustine, Florida<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Florida is beautiful through and through, but St. Augustine stands out from the competition with its historical buildings along Aviles Street, Gilded-Age architecture of Flagler College, and tidal marsh and sand dunes of Anastasia State Park.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

16. Wellfleet, Massachusetts <\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Stretching across the forearm of the Cape Cod National Seashore, Wellfleet is a handsome coastal town, treasured for its peaceful retreats at Marconi Beach, Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, White Cedar Swamp, and beyond.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

17. Excelsior, Minnesota <\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

A ride on the vintage Excelsior Streetcar or the antique Steamboat Minnehaha will not only give you a glimpse into this city\u2019s Victorian past, but it\u2019ll also reveal the enchanting allure of this quaint lakeside town.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

18. Wamego, Kansas<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Prairie Village, Totos Around Town, and Mount Mitchell: Wamego has all the charm (history, art, and nature!) to earn it a reputation as one of the most beautiful towns in America.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

19. Madison, Indiana<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Madison is a stunner, and you\u2019ll see for yourself as you indulge in the local vineyards along the Indiana Wine Trail, hike Clifty Falls State Park, and cruise along the Ohio River Scenic Byway.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

20. Berea, Kentucky<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Berea is an enchanting Kentucky Trail Town celebrated not only for its scenic routes, but also for its thriving art community, where you\u2019ll find more than 40 unique crafts shops, showcasing everything from art galleries to glassblowing studios.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

21. Tellico Plains, Tennessee <\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

With its breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains and endless acres of pastoral farmland, Tellico Plains has its fair share of charisma. Explore this striking Trail Town and you\u2019ll soon understand its nickname, The Little Town with the Big Backyard.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

22. Tyler, Texas<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The delicate roses that burst to life in Tyler each spring aren\u2019t the only things that make this Texas city easy on the eyes. Look beyond the Azalea & Spring Flower Trail to discover peaceful Lake Tyler, grape-laden vineyards, charming historical homes, and more.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

23. Medora, North Dakota<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The rustic, Old West cow town of Medora is the portal to the magnificent Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Take in the glory of the Badlands on horseback as you gallop past bison and mountain sheep, and venture to the nearby Painted Canyon Overlook.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

24. Marietta, Ohio<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Zoom out of Marietta, and you\u2019ll see a lovely town dotted with Victorian architecture, sitting along the river, but zoom in, and you\u2019ll be inspired by the details. Uncover the pretty brick streets, covered bridges, wetlands, and art galleries galore.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

25. Polson, Montana <\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Good luck deciding what Polson\u2019s most attractive features are because the list goes on and on. The dreamy views of Flathead Lake and the omnipresence of the Mission Mountain Range in the distance just scratch the surface when it comes to Polson\u2019s beauty.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

26. Carmel-by-the-Sea, California<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s romantic coastlines like Carmel-by-the-Sea that entice visitors to venture where the sand meets the ocean. The spectacular views from Scenic Bluff Path and the emerald waters at China Cove are only tiny pieces of Carmel\u2019s seduction.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

27. Incline Village, Nevada <\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

No matter if Incline Village is covered in a fresh layer of snow or casting its reflection on the crystal blue waters of Lake Tahoe, it\u2019s undeniably gorgeous every day of the year.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

28. Fairhope, Alabama<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fairhope could easily be the fairest of them all with its dramatic live oaks, architecturally divine antebellum homes, and serene shorelines along Mobile Bay.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

29. East Lyme, Connecticut<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Looking for some delicious views? Feast your eyes on East Lyme, where you can meander along Niantic Bay Boardwalk, overlooking the Long Island Sound, and hike along the creeks and pond in Nehantic State Forest.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

30. Pullman, Washington<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The small town of Pullman is especially good looking when the trees turn amber along Main Street and the Pullman Riverwalk, but some might consider the surrounding Palouse region the real draw; a magical display of rolling hills\u00a0and wind-blown silt.<\/p>\n
