In case you haven’t noticed, summer is speeding by. If you’ve waited until the last minute to make summer vacation plans, well, you’re not alone. Luckily, there’s still time to fit in a long weekend at the beach before Labor Day and Orbitz has found some great deals to help make that happen.
Here are the top five beach deals for August, according to the travel website:
- Hilton Head, SC
- Grand Cayman
- Kauai, HI
- Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
- St. Petersburg, FL
I’ve been to Hilton Head a few times, and will be headed back at the end of July. Stopped in Grand Cayman on a cruise, and wasn’t overly impressed with the flat landscape. One piece of advice: If you must go to Stingray City, do so on a day when the fewest number of cruise ships are in port. Trust me on that one. I’ve also been to St. Pete once. I don’t recall it having its own beaches, but it is close to Clearwater beaches. If you can swing it, stay at the historic Renaissance Vinoy, which overlooks a beautiful marina, and head into Tampa’s Ybor City while you’re there for some fantastic Cuban food and culture.
I’ll add the other two destinations to my always-growing would-love-to-visit-someday list.
