Barnstable Town in Massachusetts is officially one of the best beach towns in the country. That’s according to Gallup-Sharecare, which has named the seaside community as the number two happiest and healthiest beach towns in America.
The survey polled more than 337,000 people across the nation in order to pin point the most heavenly towns in America. The survey considered factors like physical well-being, time spent worrying, and financial health. Residents of the Bay State won’t be surprised to learn that 10 of the top 25 towns in the country are by the coast, and Barnstable Town missed the #1 by just a hair.
