Among the top places to getaway was the Sunken Forest, located on Fire Island.

Here's what Only In Your State had to say about the local spot:

Out on Long Island, there's a 1.5-mile-long boardwalk that winds through a unique Maritime Holly Forest and takes you out to the ocean. Part of Fire Island, visitors of the Sunken Forest Nature Trail will get to walk underneath 200-year-old trees in a rare forest that you'll usually have all to yourself, all while breathing in that beautiful ocean air.
