10. Kauai, Hawaii
Nicknamed the Garden Island, Kauai is Hawaii’s oldest island and is a feast for the eyes and the senses. A true must-see, there’s no sight on earth quite like the stunning Napali Coast, with its jagged green cliffs. Visitors can enjoy views of sea caves and fertile valleys on a helicopter or boat tour of the coast. Drive or hike through Waimea Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, and gaze at waterfalls and rainbows. There are also plenty of serene, secluded beaches for relaxing after your outdoor adventures. With so much beauty to experience, visitors will want to spend as much time as possible on this beautiful, quiet island.
11. Bailey Island, Maine
Feast your eyes on miles of remote, rocky Maine coastline during your getaway to Bailey Island. You can enjoy fresh out of the water lobster, browse through art galleries, or go on a hike to explore tide pools along the rocky shore. The island is also home to a historic Cribstone Bridge, one of the only known examples in the world. Bailey Island is located just 50 miles from Portland and would be a great addition to your Portland trip. Portland is a mecca of amazing seafood restaurants and is a great jumping off point for all your Maine adventures.
