“Perennial hot spots like the Hamptons and Miami may offer endless activities, but nothing beats the charm of a small shore town. Here, exploring quaint streets on your bike or strolling leisurely on the sand, confident you won’t be in the company of thousands, summer days feel longer. If that sounds ideal to you, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite coastal towns that are as gorgeous as they are low-key.”
