Where to Plan Your Next Summer Trip
At our Newark Airport parking company, we love beaches – especially during the hot days of summer. Here’s a list of our 10 favorite beaches throughout the U.S:
Coronado
The main part of San Diego, California’s Coronado beach stretches 1.5 miles along the beautiful mansions of Ocean Boulevard, giving visitors more than one type of scenery to take in. Just east is Glorietta Bay, which mixes beach life with a green, grassy park and just north is North Beach, where dog owners can let their furry friends frolic.
Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach has been a long-time favorite among beachgoers from all over. From the white sand to the entertainment to the restaurants and more, there’s always something to do at this popular South Carolina beach – especially if you love water sports like sailing, fishing, and surfing.
Miami Beach
If hot sunshine is what you’re looking for, head to Florida’s Miami Beach, where locals and tourists alike can lounge around South Beach or can even head to the clothing-optional Haulover Beach. Once nightfall hits, the area is ripe with restaurants, bars, and entertainment options through the wee hours of the morning.
Cape May
At the southernmost tip of New Jersey lies Cape May, a popular beach destination for all ages. The area is one of America’s oldest seaside resorts and in addition to its beautiful beaches, Cape May gives you a romantic, quaint getaway complete with Victorian-era homes and family-owned bed and breakfasts.
Hilton Head
If a little luxury is in your sights, head to South Carolina’s Hilton Head beach, where you can enjoy pristine golden sand, premier shopping, classy restaurants, and an overall laid-back vibe. And if you’re looking for sailing, golfing, tennis, or music by the waterfront, you’re in the right place.
Outer Banks
East Coasters love heading to Outer Banks, North Carolina once the summer temperatures hit. The chain of barrier islands not only boasts a good dose of history, but also offers an abundance of wildlife, local beach shops, scenic lighthouses, and more than 3,000 shipwrecks to explore.
Kapalua Bay
Situated in West Maui, Hawaii, this beach looks like something out of a postcard. With silky white sand, swaying palm trees, turquoise blue waters, and scenic lava points, the bay is perfect for travelers who want to just kick back, relax, and enjoy the view.
Cape Cod
For a taste of New England charm, head to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where you’ll find quaint bed and breakfasts, scenic bike trails, colorful cottages, and an ample amount of beach for sunbathing. Don’t forget to check out the art scene and dine on as much fresh seafood as possible.
South Padre Island
Right on the southern tip of Texas is South Padre Island, a prime destination for spring breakers. While visitors come for the wide beaches and bright blue waters, they also enjoy things like dolphin watching, deep-sea fishing, kiteboarding, and more. And when it comes to nightlife, the island is full of funky bars and clubs to explore.
Santa Cruz Beach
Santa Cruz Beach has long been considered a great family destination. Home to California’s oldest surviving amusement park, the boardwalk features kid-friendly rides and games, live music events, shops, and more. There’s also plenty to do within driving distance, including Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park and Swanton Berry Farm.
