  • Bandon Beach, Oregon, USA

  • Ilwaco Washington

  • Oregon
    In central Oregon, Sisters caters to travelers with its laid-back style, plethora of local businesses and fly fishing. If you can, try to make the annual quilt festival for an unexpectedly delightful diversion. © Dana Kenneth Johnson | Dreamstime.com
  • California
    The beach at Capitola, California, is lined with colorful houses, a shout out to the town’s beginnings as a seaside resort. Rent a boat, see a show, lounge in the sun or make your way between the many local eateries. © Yuval Helfman | Dreamstime.com
  • Pacific Beach, Washington
    The town of Seabrook, Washington, is on the newer side. It was founded in 2004. The town made a reputation for itself with its adorable housing, communal fire pits and bocce courts. You may love it so much you decide to move. © Gregory Johnston | Dreamstime.com
