Negril
Negril is a town in western Jamaica known for its miles of white sand beaches and cliffs. It is certainly one of the more laid back towns on the island yet still attracts a lot of tourists. The hotels are as close to the water as you can get, and the sand gets whiter and whiter the further away from populated areas you get. The water is unbelievably clear and warm in Negril!
Cody, Wyoming
Named after Colonel William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody - the man who founded the original town - Cody, Wyoming is a city that emanates the traditional Wild West. With daily shootout reenactments in the streets and regular rodeos, Cody attracts visitors from all over. It is located just outside the eastern border of Yellowstone National Park, and so has easy access to outdoor activities as well, from horseback riding like a real gunslinger to hiking in Teton National Forest.
