“Compiling Afar's annual Where to Go list continues to add new destinations to my must-visit list,” says Afar Editor-in-Chief Julia Cosgrove. “These places are fantastic alternatives to the typical crowded places.”
Maine's Bold Coast, with its 125-mile National Scenic Byway, makes the list for its beautiful views, wild blueberry farms and lobster boats. Lititz, Pennsylvania is described as a spot where “Amish culture and rock 'n' roll happily collide 75 miles west of Philadelphia.” And Canada's Prince Edward County and its combination of beaches – it's right on Lake Ontario – and vineyards attract visitors.
