It’s hard to believe, yet Summer is almost over. The past few months have flown by and there is a small window for that much-deserved summer vacation. For many of us, deciding to pack our bags and plan a trip isn’t a hard decision. However, choosing the perfect destination can be a tricky. We’re here to help. Today we have put together a list of five Summer destinations. Each one of these provides a great escape from reality.
When we think of summer vacation, we think of the tropics. Or, at the very least, somewhere near a refreshing body of water of some sort. With that being the premise, we have put together a list of five Summer destinations that offer plenty to see and do. From Marigot, St. Martin to Munising, Michigan, we’ve got a destination for everyone. The stunning sights of French Polynesia are extraordinary, as is the natural beauty of Dorado, Puerto Rico.
Courseulles-sur-Mer, France may not seem like the Summer retreat of the year, but we’ll change your mind. Take a closer look at these five Summer destinations below and start planning your trip immediately; time is almost up!
Marigot, St. Martin
This beautiful island paradise screams Summer vacation. From its top-notch shopping to an array of nightlife to experience, Marigot has something for everyone. The excursions found around the island are the star of the show, offering something for everyone. From Day cruisers to snorkeling, or simply exploring the quaint surroundings, St. Martin is a perfect place to wind down Summer!
French Polynesia
With over a hundred islands, French Polynesia offers plenty to see and experience, providing a place to enjoy paradise. There are the famous islands of Tahiti and Bora Bora. Bora Bora is known for its overwater bungalows, though the rest of the area features an array of unique experiences and sights. Islands like Rangiroa are a haven for divers and snorkelers who come for its famed Blue Lagoon, pearl farm and the only coral winery on the planet. There is also Taha’a, Moorea, and other islands boasting everything from trendy restaurants to shopping without being overdeveloped! French Polynesia is a pristine paradise!
Dorado, Puerto Rico
If you’ve never been to Puerto Rico, go, and do so immediately. Just west of San Juan is Dorado, home to some of the most beautiful beaches on the globe. A perfect Summer retreat, visitors can expect plenty to see and do, from cute restaurants or the stunning town square where the Parroquia San Antonio de Padua resides. This unique town features traditional Spanish colonial vibes with a side of luxury, minus the flock of tourists seen elsewhere on the island. Paradise found!
Courseulles-sur-Mer, France
Courseulles-sur-Mer is by far the most interesting choice on the list. We wouldn’t think of Northern France as a hot spot for Summer travel, but Courseulles-sur-Mer is just different. Airbnb names the area as a top choice for travelers to book their slumbers in between venturing around. The area is rich with history, boasting some beautiful seaside scenery and beach resorts. Located at the edge of the Channel Sea, the area has plenty to see and experience, and it’s worth the time and effort! Do something different!
Munising, Michigan
Michigan probably isn’t on your radar yet for Summer vacations, though it should be. Munising, Michigan is a nature-filled destination where visitors can experience life on the southern shore of Lake Superior. The beautiful scenery, including waterfalls, lighthouses, and abundant outdoor-centric activities, are found throughout the area. Munising is the gateway town to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and its a great place to spend a few days on your next Summer retreat. Take it all in and experience a different kind of beautiful!
