We all know someone who aims to see every state in America.  They usually have an old-school map hanging somewhere with a pin in all the places they’ve already been.  Some people get even more granular, they want to see as many cities as possible too. Well, not all cities are created equal which is why a list came out naming the ugliest city in every state.  So what is the ugliest city in New Jersey?

When visiting a new city you are looking for the local flavor, maybe some gorgeous architecture or scenic views, there are some breathtaking and exciting cities in our country but according to Travel Alot, the following cities are not them.

LOOK: See America's 50 Best Beach Towns

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
