This ‘dreamy' Georgia location is listed as the most underrated vacation spot in the U.S.
St. Simons Island is being hailed as U.S. News & World Report's No. 1 Underrated Vacation Destination.
'Though the largest Golden Isle is a summer staple for Georgians, it's often overlooked by out-of-state beachgoers in favor of Florida and South Carolina locales,' a recent U.S. News ranking article states. 'This dreamy barrier island is home to stately live oaks, dune-lined beaches, maritime forests and quaint shopping villages, lending it a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere even during peak season.'
The vacation ranking was compiled using reader and editor feedback.

13 US schools top 2025 ranking of best global universities
More than a dozen of the U.S.'s higher education institutions ranked in the top 20 of global universities. The 2025-26 ranking from U.S. News & World Report included 2,250 top universities from more than 100 countries and considered factors like the school's international opportunities, student makeup and research opportunities. People walk on the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., Feb. 2, 2024. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig, File) Three American universities tied for 16th place in the ranking: Cornell University, Princeton University and the University of California, San Francisco. New York-based Cornell — one of the Ivy League schools under the Trump administration's microscope — earned its rank through its diverse student population and programs. On the other hand, Princeton and the University of California's wide variety of centers, programs and research opportunities were mentioned in their ranking.

A sign is seen in front of part of the Johns Hopkins Hospital complex, July 8, 2014, in Baltimore. Johns Hopkins University in Maryland partners with international universities to offer more than 400 study abroad programs in more than 50 countries, with opportunities at Johns Hopkins Medicine International, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the School of Advanced International Studies. UCLA Campus (Getty Images) Though Los Angeles is known as a city of fun, its University of California chapter is all business. The university has 28 centers for multidisciplinary research, with more than 192 research, teaching and student exchange agreements worldwide. Students walk up to the entrance of the Columbia University library in New York City. (AP) Despite problems with the Trump administration over student protests and subsequent job cuts, Columbia capped off the Top 10 of the ranking for its 'study abroad programs, global internships and international service learning and research opportunities,' U.S. News & World Report said. The campus of Yale University is seen, Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2024, in New Haven, Conn.

(AP Photo/Elaine Thompson/File) With more than 500 study abroad options and more than 8,000 international students, the University of Washington, Seattle offers a global approach to health and environmental studies. Sather Gate is the main entrance to the University of California Berkley campus. (AP) The final University of California campus to make the list, the 'International House at Berkeley is home to nearly 600 students and scholars from more than 70 countries,' according to U.S. News & World Report. Students walk on the Stanford University campus on March 14, 2019, in Stanford, Calif. (AP Photo/Ben Margot, File) Stanford University's ranking is reliant on its summer opportunities like the Global Studies Internship Program, which sends students to more than 20 countries on six continents for a wide variety of disciplines. The Maclaurin Buildings on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) campus are seen in Cambridge, Mass., on Dec. 12, 2023. Known for its STEM focus and low acceptance rate, MIT is a thoroughly global school. 'More than 3,430 international students are currently enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and during academic year 2023-2024 the school hosted 2,247 international scholars from 100 countries,' U.S. News & World Report writes.

Harvard offers courses in more than 100 languages, and international students made up 27.2% of the university population in the 2024-2025 academic year.
