Traveling to Vermont? Beware of These 13 Bizarre and Wacky Laws

Ah Vermont. The Green Mountain State and one of our New England neighbors. I love Vermont. Just something about the state gives off a calm vibe while at the same time melting away worries and stress. It's a welcoming change from the daily grind. I have spent many times in the Green Mountain State as I have friends that live in Readsboro and West Dover.

In 2008 after my wife and I were married, we spent our honeymoon in Burlington. We had a blast as we stayed at the Hilton overlooking Lake Champlain. I recommend Lake Champlain Chocolates for those who need to satisfy a sweet tooth. We also visited the aquarium and took tours of the Cabot Cheese Factory as well as the Ben & Jerry's factory. Cruising on the lake was also a highlight of our honeymoon.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
