People are truly spoiled for choice when it comes to travel options in the United States. Because there are so many high-profile sites and cities attracting millions of visitors each year, travelers may not consider some hidden gem destinations. We're talking about the tucked-away beach towns, mountainside hamlets, lakeside getaways, and quaint communities between major urban hubs. That's not to say they don't have many amazing things to offer tourists, from museums and outdoor adventures to cultural festivals and beloved restaurants.
Cheapism revealed the most underrated town in every state. Writers combed through online reviews and rankings to determine their picks. They also considered cultural attractions, outdoor activities, dining and shopping options, cost of living, and other factors.
According to the website, Florida's most overlooked town is St. Augustine! Writers explained why they featured this historic spot:
"With a half-millennium of history — give or take a half a century — St. Augustine is the oldest continuously inhabited city in America. That naturally makes it a tourist destination — but it's not a tourist trap. The city is alive with not just a rich, long history, but also culture, arts, entertainment, and nightlife."
