Most Beautiful Places in America

America is a large country filled with many splendors. Each state has its own unique beauty. The most incredible places range from small beaches on an island in the middle of the Pacific to a cluster of islands that make up the largest city in America. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but following are three places that are the most impressive sights in America.
North Shore, Hawaii

Find peace, beauty and tranquility away from the tourist-filled beaches in Waikiki and drive to the North Shore of Oahu. Stop at one of the local garlic shrimp trucks and eat freshly caught prawns over steaming hot rice. Swim under the waterfalls or jump into the refreshing Pacific Ocean. During the winter months sit on the sand at the Banzai Pipeline and watch the professional surfers catch 30-foot waves. Then make sure to take time and smell the flowers.

Pacific Coast Highway, California

Take a drive up the most stunning coast in America, the Pacific Coast Highway. Take in the homes of the rich and famous along the Malibu Coast. Visit Hearst Castle on your way to lunch at San Luis Obispo or jump on a boat for a sailing trip in the wide open waters. Have a romantic spin on the ferris wheel on the boardwalk of Santa Cruz. Don't forget to sip a mimosa with a view at the restaurants of Carmel.

New York City, New York

Stimulate your senses and walk through the crowded streets of the city that beats all cities, New York. If you prefer nature when you're strolling, then Central Park is one of the best walks around. Visit museum after museum, from MOMA to the Guggenheim and learn to paint. Sample world cuisine from top chefs you normally see cooking on television. Remember to climb the Statue of Liberty and be happy to be in America.
