Best American Beach Towns for Fourth of July: Waveland, Mississippi. This little Gulf town west of Bay St. Louis entered a national competition to win itself an all-expense-paid Fourth of July bash, complete with BBQ, entertainment, and fireworks, worth $50,000. Resident Donna Estopinal, co-owner of Roger’s Sports Bar and Grill, wrote the prize-winning essay about how Waveland has had to pull itself back from the destruction of Hurricane Katrina.

America's Best Seafood Dives: Cap'n Jack's Restaurant, South Kingstown, Rhode Island. How many seafood dives have their own pastry chef on the premises? Which is to say, enjoy those huge clam cakes, fish-and-chips, and seafood pasta specials that this cute, family-owned spot on a coastal salt marsh (and a quick walk to the beach) is known for, but make sure to save room for the oversize and delicious apple and blueberry turnovers, as well as cakes, pies, and other confections.

America's Best Seafood Dives: Bob's Clam Hut, Kittery, Maine. You have to love a clam spot where two versions of the lightest fried clams on the Eastern Seaboard compete for customers' attention: the traditional house recipe and Lillian's, named for the cashier who challenged the restaurant's kitchen with her own recipe, which she was sure was better. You can order either, and it will arrive at your table with a bright little flag marking it as Bob's or Lillian's. Coastalliving.com
