Tired Of The City? Find Peace In These 10 Breathtaking Places

Olympic Coast, Washington

How about a lovely beach that isn’t full of people? While this is a summer destination, make sure you save this breathtaking place for the next year.

While Oregon’s beaches understandably get a lot of the hype thanks to the PNW’s moody seaside vibes, the 73 miles of protected Olympic shores are equally stunning — and less crowded — summer destinations.

If you want to spend a few days in this breathtaking place, you should know that camping is the main lodging option. Some of the most popular low-key activities are kayaking, coastal hiking, birdwatching, and, of course, swimming.

Or you can stay at Kalaloch Lodge, a coastal, rustic retreat with cabins and a restaurant that uses local foods. Even the wine is locally made!
