Previously, we brought to you six out of ten desirable honeymoon locations for newlyweds: Kenya, Provence, Switzerland, Turkey and Thailand. However, we recognize that some newlyweds prefer to stick closer to home within the borders of the United States. Here are four unexpected places to visit on your honeymoon that will afford you memories to cherish.

Some people may only connect Mystic to pizza thanks to one of Julia Robert’s first films about a pizza joint called Mystic Pizza. However, if you and your groom enjoy the water and are looking for a charming location to forget about the rest of the world for a few days, this New England town is the perfect place. Here you will find endearing bed and breakfast establishments, family-owned restaurants and enough romantic charm for a three honeymoons. The prices here are reasonable, too. Always a plus, right?
Cumberland Island, Georgia

This remote island off the Georgia coast, accessible only by a daily boat ride, is a remote and relaxing way to spend your honeymoon without interference from the outside world. For true adventurers, you could rough it in the rustic camping areas, but if you prefer your water and electricity try the Greyfield Inn. The only property on the island that offers lodging and really the only place you will find electricity and other amenities. This island is home to feral horses, untouched beaches, plantation ruins and Southern charm.
Napa Valley, California

If your budget will not allow for an Italian or a Provence honeymoon, the Napa Valley is just as spectacular and closer to home. Spend your evenings sipping wine, overlooking rolling hills. Looking for an adventure? Inquire about a hot air balloon ride over the wine country for a different perspective.
Lake Tahoe, California

The crystal blue waters of Lake Tahoe will trick you into believing you are in a tropical paradise. The mountains and jagged cliffs that rise out of the lake waters are breathtaking. Honeymooning in the winter? Consider adding a ski package to your honeymoon plans. Be sure to find a location with a hot tub to enjoy sizzling nights under the starry Lake Tahoe sky.
So, that’s it! Of course, these locales are only a few of the millions of choices for newlyweds to honeymoon. Where did you spend your honeymoon?
