You don’t have to go big to keep your little snow bunnies entertained this winter. In fact, these tiny towns are proving just how much adventure one family can fit into a small space, with everything from sleigh rides and sledding to skijoring and sightseeing, and even a few that don’t include snowy goodness (hello, beaches and sunshine). Flip through to find your next pint-sized winter destination!
Ponce Inlet, Florida (Appx. Population 3,200)
If dolphins and stringrays are your thing (even in winter), you’ll have a good chance at spotting both of them here. The town’s Marine Science Center is known for its stingray touch pool, a local fave, and playful dolphins are often spotted off the beaches at Lighthouse Point Park. This is also where families can climb to the top of the iconic, historic light house (built in 1835) to take in ocean breezes and views that’ll make you rethink winter.
