Michigan State

When you think of relaxing beaches and beautiful sceneries, Michigan might not be the first place in the world — or even in the United States — that jumps to mind. It's often associated with cold and humid weather, after all. However, there is a lot more to the Wolverine State than people might realize. It's one of the perfect places to gaze at the stars, chill on the beach, and experience nature at its best, such as Isle Royale, a remote national park in the Midwest bursting with adventure.

Bodega Bay, CA

The iconic California Highway 1 road trip takes you through some amazing cities and beaches, and some of its most amazing beaches are off the beaten path, like the ones at Sonoma Coast State Park. Heading north out of San Francisco, it's about a 2.5-hour drive if you stick to the coast via Highway 1, or you can get there in about 1.5 hours if you use the inland Highway 101 route.

Oregon State

Waldport, OR

Waldport, Oregon, bills itself as where the forest meets the sea, and that's more than just a catchy slogan. Waldport is squished between the Pacific on one side and the Sisuslaw National Forest on the other. Dense forests grow up to the water's edge, and freshwater meets salt water in the center of town. While this area is rarely recognized as the most stunning beach in the Pacific Northwest, there's a unique feel here that most of the world hasn't caught on to yet. How many other beach towns offer free bike rentals? Waldport provides everything you need for a great beach trip, minus the crowds.

The most beautiful luxury vessels are often found in the most pristine locations. While this may make the owners of such incredible assets feel amazing, it doesn’t always turn out well for nature. There have been several instances where megayachts have ventured into protected waters, sailing over restricted areas and sanctuaries. Most recently, a similar incident occurred on the beaches of Cagnes-sur-Mer, Nice, where the area had to be evacuated twice in one week due to oil pollution. The beach was also closed to the public until necessary measures were taken.
