Sharky Award Winners: Places
What makes a place sharky?
Sharky places are bold, funky, and more than a little off-beat. Sure, you can recommend these spots to your mother—if your mother writes avant-garde haiku and teaches hula dancing in her spare time. The Sharky Awards drop a pin on the must-see destinations that turn a trip into an odyssey. If you know what we mean.
