Where can I travel that has beaches as well as mountains, in the USA or International or beautiful scenery?

Answer 1

British Columbia, home of 2010 winter games has both beautiful mountains and lovely beaches and great scenery in between.

Answer 2

Hawaii is the obvious choice. Saba or any of the mountainous Caribbean Islands.

How far are you willing to travel between the beach and the Mountains? All of the western states have both beaches and mountains -- but you might have to travel a couple hundred miles to get from one to the other in California -- while parts of Washington have both.

Same thing on the East Coast. North Carolina has beautiful beaches and mountains -- but they are a few hours apart -- while in New Hampshire they are closer.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
