Car-centric cities suck. I do not care how beautiful or well-positioned they are (looking at you, Florida)—if I have to walk along a highway to reach my destination, that's a major deduction. Unfortunately, so much of the US is built around car culture. Unlike other countries, walking is simply not the main—or even top three—mode of transportation across most of the US.

Destin, FL

Florida's Panhandle has no shortage of fantastic beaches and stunning scenery, but if you're looking for something really special, make sure to visit Crab Island in Choctawhatchee Bay in Destin. It's not technically an island so much as it's a sandbar surrounded by water that's typically not more than a few feet deep (depending on the tide), making it perfect for wading, swimming, and indulging in all kinds of sun and water fun. If you want to enjoy it at its most strikingly beautiful, go during the hours closest to the high tide— that's when the emerald and turquoise water is the clearest.
