Maybe while driving down California's coast, you were blown away by Carmel-by-the-Sea with its pristine beaches and colorful, cottage-style houses.

Or you visited Edgartown, Massachusetts, a decade ago and were so smitten, you've returned every summer since.

Maybe you adore the Lowcountry town of Beaufort, South Carolina, with its picturesque marshes, historic mansions and oak trees covered in Spanish moss.

Or perhaps you grew up in the remote Alaskan fishing village of Sitka and think the world deserves to know about its natural beauty.
