Summertime is one pleasant period of the year every traveler looks forward too. Whether you’re planning to go solo, in a group or family, summer vacation might just be the break you need to get all that magical experience.
Looking for a perfect destination for summer? United States should be on your bucket list. Summer is meant for using vacation days, whether your ideal trip involves a big city, an all-American national park, a relaxing beach or a stay in a small town.
So in no particular order, we have collated some of the best destinations to visit in the US during summer.
Santa Barbara
With a balanced weather all year round, this major city in California beats other destinations making it an ideal place for a laidback holiday.
Make sure you visit the Butterfly beach to witness a panoramic view of the sunset that this city is proud of and if you’re in mood for some good surfing time, try Arroyo Burro Beach Country Park here!
Do give the eateries and wineries a chance to woo your senses like never before.
Glacier National Park
Ever witnessed snow in July? Well, you’re definitely in for a treat if you wish to visit this national park which lets you peek through the wildlife of Montana via a car ride.
Hiking through the park’s trails of 700 miles, and camping at various 13 sites are great ideas to explore this nature’s gem in Montana!
Ithaca
After shedding its winter blanket, this place becomes very much vibrant with all the finger lakes adding more to its charm. Boasting of a fresh produce and quite unique wines to taste, make sure you try the restaurants here, without which you holiday is incomplete!
Lined with natural landscapes and scenic views, you have various other options to explore its beauty with Treman State Park, and Buttermilk Falls.
Manitou Island
You can only access this island via boat, and it is one of the best places to visit in the USA in summer.
It is a freshwater beach that offers several avenues for adventure and entertainment. You can explore a range of fun activities there like kayaking, paddling or having a little picnic with your near and dear ones.
You must not ignore this place on your trip to Michigan. It is perfect for people who love to explore the recesses of wildlife.
Portland, Oregon
You can literally taste summer in this northwestern city: top-ranked farmers’ markets bursting with berries, fresh-caught salmon at inventive cafés, and plenty of cool summer drinks.
And then, of course, there are Portland’s acclaimed microbrews. The wholesome cuisine will make you want to get active, too, whether you’re bicycling around Portland or hiking near the waterfalls outside town.
Seattle
The notoriously drizzly city in the winter actually stays pretty dry and sunny throughout the summer. It’s a great time to get outdoors in Seattle, whether buzzing around in seaplanes or hanging out in the great city parks.
You can also get a good look at massive Mount Rainier, which, for the rest of the year, often hides behind clouds.
Honolulu
Thought many people flock here in winter, summer is actually the dry season in the Hawaiian capital. That means more sunny weather and more accessible waves for surfing.
There are arguably more deals during summer too, which is just yet another reason it’s a fine time to unplug in relaxing Honolulu.
Santa Fe
Summer brings more of what this southwestern town is famous for: Indian art and craft markets, classical music festivals, and plenty of art gallery openings. (Plus, mild weather: Summer rarely gets above the 80s.)
Despite all its potential for hubbub, visitors still find plenty of peace and quiet in the city when it’s time to chill out.
