In many areas of the U.S., the temperatures are starting to drop, and the weather is getting cold. If you’re someone who doesn’t love the chilly, crisp mornings in the fall or would rather avoid trekking around in the snow, here are a few places you can go to when you’d like to escape the cold weather:
Miami, Florida
A favorite destination for those who live in the north, Miami can’t be beat. From the great nightlife to the wonderful beaches, there are plenty of great things to see and do in this southern paradise that many know and love.
You can easily find great flights from Philadelphia in the winter, especially if you book your trip in advance. From salsa dancing to great places to eat, Miami is the vacation destination that has it all throughout the year.
Maui, Hawaii
Hawaii is a perfect escape for anyone who is looking to get away from the cold. With beautiful weather and fabulous beachside hotels in Maui, this island is one of the best destinations to go to in the country when you want to enjoy “summer” in the winter.
Maui in particular is well known for being a great destination to catch waves, so if you love to surf, this could be the ideal destination for you. It’s also a beautiful place to visit volcanic landscapes, as well as lush jungles. While it is a bit far to fly to, with the right travel music playlist and a good book to read, travel time will fly by.
Gulf Shores, Alabama
Who knew that Alabama would be a perfect getaway destination for those who want some “summer loving” during the north’s cold climate? Gulf Shores is well-known for its beautiful beaches, but it also has plenty to see and do. From amusement parks to the plenty of places to observe wildlife, Gulf Shores is an ideal location for you to visit.
It’s more affordable to visit and fly to than some other winter escape destinations. If you’re traveling on a budget, it could be the right place to find budget-friendly Gulf Shores rental properties.
Catalina Island, California
A true escape in the sense that you’ll have some fun off the shores of California on Catalina Island, it’s the kind of destination that makes you feel like you’re really getting away from the hustle and bustle of your everyday life.
Biking around the marina, hiking in the hills, or simply sailing on the ocean are all reasons enough to book a trip to this beautiful paradise found in California, so you can enjoy the warmth to be found in these parts while escaping the cold back home. Pricier than some other destinations, Catalina Island more than makes up for it in the beauty and classy experience it provides.
Puerto Rico
You may not want to leave the U.S. territory per se, but perhaps you want some culture? Puerto Rico is the perfect destination, as it offers Latin vibes and beautiful destinations to see. From El Yunque National Forest to Vieques, there are many lovely locations to see and enjoy in this beautiful paradise down south.
Whether you enjoy dancing or love sunning next to the ocean, there are plenty of reasons to pack your travel bags and book a visit to Puerto Rico when you want to escape the cold weather.
In Conclusion
From sandy beaches to beautiful resorts, these places all have something in common: the weather is a lot nicer there than where you live in the winter. So, if you’re someone who simply can’t stand the snow or below freezing temperatures of the north, consider planning for a beautiful vacation on the beaches of Hawaii or the jungles of Puerto Rico.
Pack your bags with quality beachwear and get ready for a warmer climate. You won’t be disappointed with any of these great options on our list!
