Even if you don't like fishing, fishing towns have an undeniable charm that is hard to resist. If you want to spend a vacation somewhere without crowds of tourists, set your eyes on Astoria, Oregon.
For over a century, the town's life has revolved around its abundant supply of salmon, which has fed locals in more ways than one. Visitors love heading out on the water and learning how to fish the species, but it's also possible to lay back and let other people do the hard work — then feast on their delicious fresh catches.
With just under 10,200 people, Astoria is calm and peaceful. It boasts beautiful waterfront homes that you can rent, so you never miss the sight of the water.
