The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco
The Golden Gate Bridge may be an engineering marvel, but it’s often obscured by fog and crowded with tourists. Instead, take a hike in nearby Muir Woods, which offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and towering redwood trees.
South Beach, Miami
South Beach may be a popular spot for sunbathing and nightlife, but it’s also crowded and overpriced. Instead, head to the quieter and more affordable beaches in Miami, like Crandon Park or Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park.
