1. Kauai, Hawaii
Without question the most laid-back destination on the list, this Hawaiian island offers more than 50 miles of beaches for travelers to choose from. The awe-inspiring cliffs that shoulder the Napali Coast provide beach-goers a stunning view, while Hanapepe, Hanalei, and Koloa provide a nice cultural contrast to the carefree calm of the coast. With scenic drives and ample outdoor activities such as hiking and kayaking, the tranquil island of Kauai truly embodies the spirit of the best places to visit in the USA in January.
