City View Goes on a Tour of Great American Small Towns

A "cottage" on Jekyll Island, GA where wealthy industrial families vacationed


Small towns are full of charm, character and local culture. City View takes a tour of some picturesque and unique places to tour.

We say it all the time: take the side roads and secondary street in order to find the best places to visit.

Jekyll Island, St, Simons and St. Simons Island, GA
Just an hour north of Jacksonville, Florida, one of the most quaint beach towns lies nestled on the southeast Georgia coast. St. Simons and St. Simons Island are small, quiet little coastal towns packed full of Southern flavor, high culture and kitchy beach goodies. The drive into the area goes past the famed Jekyll Island where travelers can take a few hours and enjoy gawking at the mansions from long-ago industry tycoons. Once off the island, the view from the Jekyll Island Bridge is a stunning portrait of the marshes below.

Beaufort, South Carolina
As long as we’re in the South, why not visit Beaufort? Its Antebellum homes will remind you of Gone with the Wind. Its food will be a gastronomical delight to your mouth and senses. And its hospitality might just compel you to relocate or at least visit again.

Calistoga, California
What Calistoga lacks in style in grace, it makes up for in charm and fun. There is no stuffiness that some of its neighboring small towns possesses. Calistoga is about having a good time, eating great food and enjoying great California landscape affordably.

The City View television show suggests getting off the main highways and freeways and finding these little gems to explore.
