This breezy beach city is styled by cliffs and rolling hills crashing into the coastline, an eclectic art and culinary scene that has garnered international acclaim, and historic, almost fairy tale-like cottages and architecture.
Where to stay: The Horizon Inn is all about upping the romance ante. Per request, the staff will set up a candlelit room, complete with rose petals and champagne. You can also opt for an intimate dinner right on the shore.
What to do: The area is a hub of culture, shopping, and entertainment. Browse the boutiques, visit the plentiful art galleries and shake hands with the artists themselves, sip local wine, or navigate one of the scenic beachfront walks or hikes.
