Jersey Shore

NJ's coastline from Sandy Hook to Cape May.
Has lately gotten a bad rap because of MTV's fake, ridiculous show but aside from a handful of Seaside Guidos, has some of the nicest sandy beaches from Maine to the Carolinas.

Also, NJ has the most rigorous ocean water quality testing program in the nation and has the cleanest water in the mid Atlantic Region.

So if the Guido crowd is not for you but you still want to a great beach to take your family than check out:
-Sandy Hook
-Ocean Grove
-Avon by the Sea
-Belmar (weekdays)
-Seaside Park (Yeah Really)
-Island Beach
-Long Beach Island
-Stone harbor
-Cape May

The Jersey Shore: Now with less Guido!

Stratton Mountain

Decent, medium-sized ski resort in southern Vermont. Trails are not terribly difficult, but has some nice cruising terrain. Vertical drop is mediocre for Vermont but biggest in southern green mountains.
Fake developer village at bottom of mountain easily impresses Mcmansion dwellers but otherwise has no real town or population center nearby. Probably ranks second in contrived, commercial atmosphere after Killington. Nice scenic drive to/from resort.

McMansion Dweller: Hey guys I just stayed at this quaint New England Village at the bottom of Stratton Mountain.

Guys: That Village was manufactured in a factory in Perth Amboy, NJ 2 years ago. You need to go to Stowe my friend.

Sylt

Medium sized German island on the North Sea coast of Jutland. Ellenbogenspitze on it's north side is the most northerly point in Germany. Sylt is a very trendy and popular vacation spot for wealthy Germans but is almost unknown to anyone outside of Germany, Denmark or the low countries. It is an island of quiet farms, sheep pastures, picturesque thatched cottages and long stretches of protected sand dunes. In the summer, Sylt's beaches and spas team with vactioners and windsurfers during the day while at night Everyone goes out to bars and lounges in Westerland and Kampen. When winter settles in the island is a desolate, wind-scoured sand bar populated by a hardy crew of locals. Sometimes Sylters are thought of as being snobby to outsiders, but this usually directed toward the tourists and obnoxious summer crowd who clog up the roads and establishments and looking to score with any girl they can.
To an American, Sylt can be thought of as being is similar to the Hamptons in NY or Cape Cod in MA.

Returning vacationer: Hey guys, I just got back from my trip to Sylt!

Guys: Umm, Where?!!
