29. Gordons Pond Trail, Delaware
Oddly, the stunning coastline of the Delmarva Peninsula, between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean is often ignored and underrated. Take this coastal trail in Delaware’s Cape Henlopen State Park and see for yourself. It is an out-and-back hike that covers almost 6.5 miles. Highlights include a pretty pond, marshes, a honey-hued beach, and old towers from the military base once there.
30. Kalalau Trail, Hawaii
Hawaii is home to over 1,000 miles of stunning shoreline. Nevertheless, the coastline of Kauai is extraordinary. This particular 11-mile trek along Napali Coast’s northern section is part of the state parks system and an official designated wilderness area. The only way to explore this coastal stretch from Kalalau Beach to Ke’e is via the verdant valleys and sea cliffs along this attractive coastal trail.
