This one is Plymouth, Massachusetts...
...as is this one.
Montauk, Long Island, New York
Hamonasset Beach, Madison, Connecticut
San Francisco
Niagara Falls
This is a cool alternative viewer, also at Niagara Falls, that kinda reminded me of...
...Wall-E.
This one from Gloucester, Massachusetts is my all-time favorite.
You know you're at a truly awesome tourist location when they have one of those great old-time optical viewers from the Tower Optical Company. They've been making these binocular viewers since 1932 and the company is still going strong. I love how these machines have kept their sci-fi-of-the-past look they've had ever since I was a kid. Anyone got a quarter?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves these things! (But am I the only one who calls that beach"Ham-and-Egg-set - ?! ;-))
Nice gallery of these viewers. There's another good one at Colton Point State Park (Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania), near Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. I remember as a kid trying to split one quarter's worth of time among 5 of us...wasn't easy.
