replying to @HeidiSiefkas @HeidiSiefkas @TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA A1: I ask locals who own small independent shops for suggestions since I want to avoid signature sights/tourist-laden venues. I also go off season. This photo is bucolic Spring Lake, NJ that’s on the coast near raucous beachfront towns. #TRLT

A2: Instead of the busy beaches of Devon and Cornwall, try little-visited Northumberland instead. Between Warkworth and Berwick-upon-Tweed lies one of the finest stretches of coastline in England, and it is surprisingly crowd-free, even in summer. #TRLT https://t.co/VIVBxu4iTy
