The Best of Northwest Arkansas Top 10, Jan – Mar 2017 Issue 5

Welcome to the 5th Issue of The Best of Northwest Arkansas, Top 10.   We are thrilled with how well this project has been embraced and supported by the  Northwest Arkansas community and its visitors.  Our print and online magazine attracts more than 50,000 visitors to our website every month.  

The number one question from readers is how do we determine who is in the Top 10. Truthfully, it isn’t an easy task to determine the winners each quarter. Listees are determined by a proprietary formula based on thousands of online reviews, select reader polls and the covert experiences of NWATravelGuide.com’s street team. These three entirely different research avenues provide ultimate integrity, and accurately yield the Top 10 in any particular category.

Bottom line, this means a business can’t pay to be on a Top 10 list. Yes, advertising is sold, but that does not buy a listing in the Top 10. The magazine was created to spotlight the Best of Northwest Arkansas, and to share those findings with local residents and visitors. If we let our advertisers be the guide for who makes the Top 10, then, only the businesses with the biggest budgets would make the list. Our principled system leaves plenty of room for the little guy, the mom and pop businesses.

We have the pleasure of playing host to many guests traveling to Northwest Arkansas to get a taste, a glimpse of what we write about. They want to see for themselves if it what we say about NWA is true. They want to know if any place can be this beautiful and yet be so full of world-class restaurants and amazing, breathtaking attractions. When making reservations for our guests and coming up with their tentative itineraries, I realized that the Best of NWA, Top 10 Magazine was doing the job that we work so diligently to accomplish. It’s definitely not something we publish to the public, but in private we turn to other resources. We walk the walk and talk the talk. It is, indeed, a fantastic and useful magazine to keep on your coffee table for planning itineraries, lively discussions, conversation starters, and, ultimately, it’s a terrific resource for finding dining destinations, things to do and hotel accommodations in Northwest Arkansas.

Please let us know if there are places (new or old) that we need to check out.

Last but certainly not least, we at the Best of NWA, Top 10 are thrilled to dedicate this issue to a very special little one, Ellaani Ophelia, who is destined to do Great Things.

Description: Millions plan their summer vacations at sunny beach destinations. However, coastal living is an entirely different matter. I have always dreamed of what beach life would be like for a permanent resident. Approaching the big 50, I decided it was now or never.I started researching beaches. I thought anything is possible. So I started looking at coastal towns primarily in the United States. I was actually looking for the best beach towns to live in. It was so exciting. It was hard to narrow it down, but I finally developed a list of the best coastal cities. I was looking at my computer screen making sounds as if I was eating a box of chocolates. The ooh…awe, oh my, this is my favorite, oh isn’t this beautiful became common sounds.I found there are many reasons for people moving to the coast. It isn’t always just to swim in the water, walk on the beach, snorkel or to simply listen to the waves crashing against the shore. I knew that I had enjoyed many of these activities when I visited the beach, but I never realized that these and other different beachfront activities were some of the primary reasons others wanted to relocate to a beach town.

I found 7 main reasons people love about living at the beach. They are as follows:

(1) Beachcombers – Includes those laid back people that just want to walk along the beach, smell the ocean air and pick up the sea shells. For these folks, there are many beach towns that would do the do the trick.

(2) Water Lovers – Kayakers, kiteboarders, snorkelers, scuba divers – active water enthusiasts. Not every beach town lends itself to these particular activities, but you could get a good list from researching for best Florida beach towns or maybe even best California beach towns.

(3) Boating Group – Like to ride the ocean waves by sail, paddle, or motor, Where is the best beach town to live for this group of enthusiasts?

(4) Fishing Enthusiasts – People that love to fish the seas and shorelines. This list could include best coastal cities and small coastal towns.

(5) Nature Lovers – Folks that enjoy seaside birds, animals and critters that emerge from the sand. When you move to the beach, you should know that some towns have beaches that really lend themselves to enjoying mother nature.

(6) Lovers of Culture – Sophisticates that enjoy the arts with an ocean view. If you are lover of culture, then you probably won’t be looking at the most affordable beach towns, but will rather be compiling your list from some of the best coastal cities that have ample opportunity to enjoy the arts.

(7) Golfing Addicts – Golfers that crave the ultimate golfing experience of Scottish style links against a backdrop of vast blue water. Fortunately, there are many beach communities from small coastal towns to large beach cities that offer beautiful golf courses where you can play with the ocean as part of the permanent scenery.
