The Best 'Forgotten' U.S. Tourist Destinations

"Indeed, South Padre Island National Seashore in Texas is yet another amazing national park worth your time and attention. There, guests can enjoy 70 miles of coastline, dunes, prairies, and tidal flats, and experience Laguna Madre, one of just a few hypersaline lagoons in the world. Guests can come any time of year to windsurf, fish, swim, kayak, and more in the pristine waters, camp under the stars, and feel truly alone with Mother Nature." - Travel + Leisure Editors
