We who Live Here in the Berkshires know how special this area is, and since the pandemic, there was a major influx of people from New York, Boston, and other areas coming here in larger numbers. They get here and get by the Berkshire Bug, and end up buying property and staying.

We who live here know the Berkshires is an outdoor paradise; any choice on what you want to see will lift spirits and fill you with a sense of awe.

So I started looking at all these travel sites to see what people say about the Berkshires and what you have to see when you get here.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
