When's the last time you took the road less traveled? To quote poet Robert Frost, altering the trajectory of your next trip might make all the difference in the end.
While you're likely to enjoy the larger map dots that boasts hundreds of thousands of tourists each year, there are a few California locales that are too special to pass along the way. Be it history, charm, beauty, or a mix of all three attributes, something about this storied California destination makes it one of the most underrated travel stops in the state.
If you're in the process of planning your next California adventure, look no further than the most underrated town in the state!
According to a list compiled by LoveExploring, the most underrated town in California is Avila Beach.
Here's what LoveExploring had to say about the most underrated town in the entire state:
"Neat-as-a-pin beach towns abound in California and many are as famous as they are beautiful (we're looking at you, Carmel-by-the-Sea). Miraculously, Avila Beach, along California's Central Coast, has stayed a relative secret, overshadowed by the likes of Morro Bay. The town has a lot going for it: the charming promenade along Front Street is packed out with bistros and boutiques, and a handful of inns look over the ocean. It's a top spot for golfers too, with the swish Avila Beach Golf Resort."
