Seven US Coast Towns Worth A Visit

Sun, sand, plenty of water. These are the most important factors in traveling to the coast. But some of the reserved coastlines of the United States are located near towns that are charming themselves.

These seven settlements are within quick access from the national coasts and the shores of lakes. They are different - from quaint art villages to harsh fishing villages.

A visit to these towns will allow you not only to sunbathe, but also to enjoy seafood, history and culture.

  1. Okrakok, North Carolina

There is no separate business district in Okrakok, a small village at the southern end of the Cape Hatteras National Coast. This means the absence of special zoning - restaurants, bars and shops can be anywhere on the shady streets that stretch along the island village.

In Dajio, not far from Silver Lake, the menus are adapted to the season, serving local seafood and vegetables from the restaurant’s own garden. Island Ragpicker is located on the same street - inside this store there is a map with pins indicating the places where customers come from for sea gifts and household goods.

But the most popular attraction of the island are the wild mustangs, which are often seen grazing along the route. In 1500's, these ponies were brought here from Spain to use as workhorses. There is a legend that when the ships with them stranded near the coast, the blocked captains sent the ponies to the land to ease their ships.

Nowadays, horses freely graze on the nature reserve along the coast.

Where to stay: Captain's Landing Waterfront Inn324 Highway 12, 252-928-1999. Price rooms - from $110 behind night.

  1. Ocean Springs, Mississippi

Art reigns in Ocean Springs, near the coast of Gulf Islands in Mississippi. At its very heart is the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, which brings together eclectic galleries and shops scattered around the city center. WAMA, as the locals call it, is dedicated to the Anderson family, the heroes of the art of Ocean Springs.

Walter Inglis Anderson was a famous artist, his brother Peter Anderson discovered Shearwater Pottery pottery in the city, and James McConnell Anderson was a ceramics and painter. The permanent collection of the museum contains the work of three brothers, and traveling exhibitions bring to the city the creations of their other colleagues in the shop.

After watching the carvings and watercolors at WAMA, enjoy smoked wings, catfish sandwiches and roasted beans accompanied by live music at Murky Waters Blues and BBQ (1212 Government St.).

Where to stay: Front beach cottages, 207 Dewey Avenue, 228-215-0969. Room rates - from $109 per night.

  1. NewSmyrnaBeach, Florida

New Smyrna Beach is located north of the Canaveral National Coast. This is the place to go to explore the ruins of almost 200-year-old sugar mills, or to row along the protected lagoons and go boating alongside the state’s oldest settlers: manatees, bottlenose dolphins and alligators.

In the center of the city there is even a mystical construction, which allegedly is the abandoned remnant of the villa of the 18 century Scottish physician Andrew Turnbull.

After a historic walk, you can cool off by drinking a local cold beer at the New Smyrna Beach Brewing Company (112 Sams Ave.). And under the garlands in the courtyard of the Third Wave Café and Wine Bar (204 Flagler Ave.) you will find romance in the open air, accompanied by dishes made from fresh seasonal ingredients.

Where to stay: Black dolphin inn916 S Riverside Drive, 855-410-4868. Price rooms - from $ 149 per night.

  1. Provincetown, Massachusetts

Almost 400 years after pilgrims entered the Provincetown Bay, this beach town became one of the most popular places on the Cape Cod National Coast.

Diversity is the main attraction of this area. Are you looking for avant-garde cabarets, unspoiled mountain trails or whale-sailing adventures, the province of Provincetown has it all.

The all-in-one mood of the city is best felt on Commercial Street - here you can find art galleries, adult shops and street performers. You can dine in the classic Lobster Pot Restaurant (321 Commercial Street) - there you will be served a lobster feast, a chowder from large sea mollusks and Rockefeller cod.

Where to stay: The Provincetown Hotel at Gabriel's102 Bradford Street, 508-487-3232. Room rates start at $ 115 per night.

  1. Chatham, Massachusetts

On the opposite side of the Cape Cod National Coast is Chatham, a small coastal town in which nature prevails over nightlife, and history is equally important.

Firms renting boats, bicycles and biplanes offer tours of city sights and beaches. Chatham beaches do not belong to the national coast, but two beaches with the opportunity to swim are just half an hour away.

The historic landmarks of the city are the 200-year-old Chatham lighthouse, the Railway Museum and the Chatham Marconi Maritime Center. And at Atwood House Museum guided tours of eight galleries dedicated to local traditions and customs. Even more history is stored in maps and atlases in Chatham's Maps of Antiquity. Astrological charts, centenary maps and early atlases tell stories of seas and stars.

The restaurant Impudent Oyster (15 Chatham Bars Ave.) in the center of the city may be younger than many other establishments in Chatham, but their chowder from large marine mollusks, scallops and mussels are famous for 40 for years in a row.

Where stay: Chatham Bars Inn, 297 Shore Road, 800-527-4884. Room rates - from $495.

  1. Bayfield, WI

Bayfield, a town on the western shore of Lake Superior, is located at the entrance to the national coast of Apostle Islands. From here you can explore the sea caves and the honeycomb hollows on the islands of Devils and Sand, as well as dive to the wreckage of century-old ships.

In the summer, the Big Top Chautauqua Festival, dubbed "the Carnegie Hall of Big Tops," brings live music and comedy to town. The entire population of Bayfield is unlikely to occupy half the seats under the blue tents, where stars such as Emmylou Harris, Chris Isaac and Paula Poundstone have performed.

Local seafood and beautiful views of the lake from the Wild Rice Restaurant (84860 Old San Road) restaurant - the best rest after visiting the expositions devoted to the history of fishing in the Bayfield Maritime Museum.

Where stay: Old rittenhouse inn, 301 Rittenhouse Avenue, 715-779-5111. Price rooms - from $140 behind night.

  1. Marshall, California

Fresh oysters and beautiful views - this is what the small town of Marshall delights its visitors. And if the city lacks something in terms of shopping or museums, it more than covers it with oysters and clams.

In the Gulf of Tomales, which lies between the city and the coast of the ocean, almost half of the state’s oyster producers are located. Their generous gifts can be tasted at the Marshall Store (19225 State Route 1) - oysters are served there smoked, grilled or raw. And to look behind the scenes of the local industry for breeding oysters can be at Hog Island Oyster Farm. After the tour and a short story about how the local bivalves live and divorce, visitors are taught to remove them from the sinks and swallow them. Fresh mollusks can be bought right on the spot and can be eaten at one of the picnic tables on the farm.

In the afternoon along the bay you have chances to see whales, seals and bald eagles. But real magic happens on moonless nights when the waters take on a shimmering blue hue thanks to thousands of bioluminescent animals.

Where to stay: Nick's cove23240 Highway 1, 415-663-1033. Cottage room rates start at $ 249.
