Island Getaway For Destination Honeymoon

Never underestimate the restorative power of an island, especially if you’re a city dweller.

There’s something about watching the mainland fade into the horizon that helps you distance yourself from stress and drudgery. An island is a world apart, even if it’s as close to downtown as an exurb. And most of the many islands off the thousands of miles of U.S. coastline are small and can be fully explored in a day—on bike or by moped, if not on foot.

Some islands by the city offer shopping and smart restaurants; some offer a window on a different culture or times past. But they all present natural beauty, usually with a complement of flora and fauna that feels connected to the nearby mainland, yet exotic.
