I flipped through to Florida and was surprised to see that it was St Augustine. They show a picture of the main drag St. George street - empty. If you see this city during the height of the tourist season as I do every summer, it's mobbed. You can't park, you can't eat without waiting long for a table, and people literally bump into you walking down the narrow streets - especially St. George street.
Agree 100%.
I quickly scrolled to FL to see what the genius writer was going to suggest...then I shook my head. Sure, if your baseline of rating FL tourist destinations is Disney, then everything else will pale in comparison. We spend tons of time in St. Augustine at all times of the year, and there's never a moment when George St. isn't crowded and parking isn't full.
And Cumberland Island in GA??? Come on, everyone knows about that place. The ONLY reason why it isn't absolutely mobbed with people too is because National Park Service limits the number of visitors AND access is by boat only.
Like most so-called "journalists" these days, this one too just picked the low hanging fruit to make some click-bait.
