Best of the Pacific 2026-2027 (Image by Stripes Okinawa)
It’s a new year and it’s time once again to turn your attention to the yearly tradition unlike any other – Best of the Pacific voting season!
For the past 25 years, our annual Best of the Pacific magazine has been the authority on the best places YOU need to go to in the Pacific. How do we know? Because you told us so!
You’ve made your voices heard over the years, and in turn, informed fellow members of the military community like yourselves of the Pacific’s best attractions, restaurants, festivals, Sunday brunch, getaways and more. Whether you’re in Guam, South Korea, mainland Japan or Okinawa, you can place your vote for all your favorites.
Know where you can get a great phone plan with friendly service? Or is there an off-base dentist you tell all your friends about? We want to know, and we definitely want to know why you like it so much.
Voting is quick, easy and you just might get your name in the magazine! Take a few minutes and vote for all your favorites online or scan the QR code. And if you do, you may qualify to win a $150 gift card.
Thanks to your input, every year we’re able to make Stars and Stripes community products to help you enjoy your stay in the Pacific. That’s what we’re all about. As we are fond of saying, our papers, websites and magazines are “about you, for you, and in some cases, by you.”
The votes keep rolling in year after year and it’s all thanks to you! We had a great turnout in 2025, and we expect nothing short of a record number of votes in 2026. Vote and share so even more of you can experience the best the Pacific has to offer!
Voting starts Jan. 19 and ends Feb. 27! Vote here.
