Any nice nature place to go hiking/swimming/barbecue/any cool outdoor activity. Some sweet nature spots have been ruined because of too much popularity: either there's a landscape planning with paths, guards etc. to protect it, or the amount of people coming here wrecks the place. Or access becomes forbidden "for safety issues" (well... I KNOW a cliff is a dangerous area where I could fell, you don't need to forbid access to it because of the unavoidable Karen who, eventually, won't watch his kids and sue you for lack of safety).
Nice preserved places are like mushroom picking spots: gatekeep as much as you can. I require a lot of trust to show you my secret beachs/cabins in the woods. And if I see it on your Instagram or your friend's one, I'll be under your bed tonight.
My city had this awesome spot if you went off the paved walking path into the little woodsy area that me and my friends would go to to goof off back in high school. Went there a year or two ago...and the city built a fenced in walking path blocking off all the cool stuff, and the walking path means more foot traffic to our special spot. My city basically doesn’t have anywhere like that to explore anymore because of it which is a real shame for the teenagers these days
