United States Vacation Destinations

Depending on the time of year, there are a great number of fabulous vacation destinations in the United States that appeal to US citizens and foreign visitors as well. Since the country is so huge, it is always possible to find weather that ranges from cold, middle latitude and continental climates. Whether you are looking for winter sports or lazy days on the beach, there will never be a lack of United States vacation spots to choose from.

Beach Vacations in the United States

Most people find that there are two unique seasons for vacationing on the beach. Of course there is always the summer season which tends to run from Memorial Day through Labor Day in most locations except the northernmost coasts of New England and the Pacific Northwest. However, with more than 6,000 total miles of coastline on the eastern and western seaboards there will always be a place to find United States vacation offers any time of year on either coast. During the colder autumn and winter months the favorite seasonal vacation spots in the United States are Southern California and South Florida where the weather remains warm enough most of the year to enjoy sunny days on the beach.

Tourist Attractions in Florida

Vacations in Florida are usually booked from Orlando southward. As home to several major theme parks, Orlando sees literally millions of visitors annually. The city itself is well inland so don't come expecting to find Orlando vacation rentals. Instead you should be looking for Florida vacation specials that include tickets to theme parks like Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World or Busch Gardens along with accommodations in some of the states finest hotels. If it is fun in the sun you are seeking then consider the fact that the Florida coastline is an amazing 663 miles of beaches in the Sunshine State. Among the most popular locations for a Florida beach vacation would be:

  • South Beach in Miami
  • Panama City in the Panhandle of Florida
  • Sarasota/Bradenton on the Gulf of Mexico
  • Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale
  • Key West, the southernmost point in the United States

There are a number of Florida vacation homes available for seasonal rental as well as timeshares and Florida condos that can be purchased or rented for periods of a couple weeks to a month at a time. But no matter where you choose to stay, you will always find something to do and some of the best food on the planet to enjoy. Florida is home to an amazing number of four star restaurants, boasting greater numbers than anywhere but Southern California or New York, New York.

New York Vacation Rentals: Staying in the Big Apple

Another favorite tourist destination on the east coast is of course New York, New York. From Broadway shows to a day on Coney Island you will never be bored in the Big Apple. As the cultural center of the United States, New York vacation offers should include tours to locations such as:

  • The Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island
  • The Empire State Building
  • Times Square
  • Ground Zero where the Twin Towers once stood
  • Central Park
  • Wall Street/ New York Stock Exchange
  • Madison Square Park
  • St. Patrick's Cathedral
  • Rockefeller Center
  • Carnegie Hall
  • Broadway

There is so much to experience in New York that you could visit year after year and never have time to do it all. As the largest city in the United States there is a broad cultural diversity that holds appeal to anyone from literally any ethnic background.

Touring the Country Coast to Coast

One benefit of vacationing in a country as large as the United States is the fact that you can see snow capped mountains in the heat of the summer while you can go swimming in water that is above 80 degrees in the coldest part of the winter elsewhere in the country. There are some people who look for warm beaches on the west coast of Florida so they look for Gulf vacation rentals while others want to ski in the Rockies of Colorado which leads them to reserve a Breckenridge rental cottage near the resort. There are even United States vacation specials and tours which can bring tourists from coast to coast allowing time to stop and visit along the way. Perhaps you would like to see some of the most spectacular natural wonders the United States has to offer such as:

  • Old Faithful located in Yellowstone National Park Wyoming
  • Mount Rushmore in South Dakota
  • The Great Salt Lake in Utah
  • Niagara Falls in New York
  • The Painted Desert in Arizona
  • The Coral Reef off the Coast of Florida

And the list goes on. No matter what part of the country you decide to visit there are a number of vacation homes which can be rented for a short period of time up to an entire season.

More to the West Coast than California

Whenever someone discusses a west coast vacation the first thing that comes to mind is California. Actually, there are some interesting tourist locations scattered about in places like Seaside, Oregon and Walla Walla, Washington. Don't forget that Alaska and Hawaii are also in the western United States and there is nothing quite like beach rentals in the Hawaiian Islands or vacation rental homes in Alaska during the Iditarod Great Sled Race. While California has sunny beaches and some of the world's best surfing, Washington State and Alaska have some mighty fine fishing! Here are a few suggestions of things to do and see on the west coast of the United States:

  • Wine tasting in the Yakima Valley or Walla Walla, Washington
  • Spend a day shopping in historic Pike Place Market, Seattle, Washington
  • View more than 60 birds of prey at Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, Oregon
  • Hike the historic trails of the Lewis and Clark State and National Parks, Astoria, Oregon
  • Cast your reel in the waters of Alaska for salmon, tuna and more types of fish than you can count
  • Catch the Iditarod, Alaska's famous sled dog race that stretches more than 1150 miles

Of course we all know about Hawaiian luaus on Maui and the original Disneyland in California because those are some of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. However, there is so much more to the western states that many tourists will never experience simply because they are not as highly publicized.

Before booking a vacation in the United States take the time to really think about what it is that you would like to do. If it can be found anywhere in the world you will surely find it in this broad and multicultural land. From Native American sweat lodges in New Mexico and Arizona to 21st century tours of Kennedy Space Center in Florida, you can walk through the centuries while enjoying some time away from home. Year round United States vacation deals are plentiful so it is possible to find a vacation package for any budget or any size group.
