Jan. 29, 2023

Alongside the likes of Girdwood, Alaska and Avalon, California, Leland comes in at #10. The magazine notes that the town is "a tourism dream team composed of a working commercial fishing village and a community of people who love their summer cottages. Leland is a special place virtually untouched by time. For instance, it has no stoplights."
