Depending on where you’re located, summer in the USA can mean blistering heat and long days of the purest sunshine. Whilst many enjoy this more than grey, wet or cold weather, it’s still hard to stay chilled out and comfortable sometimes. One of the best solutions is to find somewhere with some cool water and a fun atmosphere where you can bring your body temperature down a little. Below we look at three such places in more detail.
Newport Beach Resort, California. This beach resort has got a lot of attention recently due to it being the central location for the well known TV show, the OC. American holidays to Newport have seen a sharp increase in the last 5 years, partly due to the increased profile of the resort, but also because it now boasts some of the best shopping and restaurants in the whole country.
Key West, Florida.This is probably the most popular place in the Florida Keys, and with bags of culture and energy, and some of the best water sports in the country, its not hard to see why. You can take a lazy walk down the beach with a drink in hand, do some fishing on your very own hire boat, or explore the depths with just a snorkel and waterproof camera. If you want a bit more entertainment then head into town, where you’ll find street performers, artists and more bars serving refreshing drinks than almost any other USA holidays resort.
Schlitterbahn Water Park, Texas. If it’s hot and you’ve got kids, then chances are they won’t be satisfied hanging around drinking pina coladas all day, or maybe they will. What is more likely however is that they want to get into their swimming costumes and go shooting down water slides and divining into wave machines. This water park hosts an impressive 65-acres worth of water fun and constantly updates its attractions, which explains why it wins numerous awards each year.
If you still can’t cool down enough however and you’re not enjoying summer, you can always go on Canada holidays instead, where the climate is a little fresher.

Here are 3 of the top destinations in America and some reasons why they should be on your travel list.
Orlando Holidays. The most famous place in Orlando is likely for many to be Disneyland Resort, which gets millions of visitors each year. However, there are some other great places to visit including SeaWorld, Universal Studios and the amazing Kennedy Space Center. Orlando also has one of the best climates in America, making it ideal for America holidays all year round.
New York Holidays. Arguably the central hub of America, New York is one of those places that everyone should visit at least once.You can experience some of the best shopping around on the New York streets, and you’d be mad not to catch a Broadway show.With a population of over twenty million, New York State is a active place, with loads going on all the time. Because there are so many things to take part in an buy in New York, if you don’t budget well, you could find yourself making lots of trips to the cash point to get more cash out.
Las Vegas Holidays. Speaking of spending money, there is no better place in the States to do it than in Las Vegas. It’s the gambling capital of the world and is as well known for its extravagate shows as it is for its hotels and casinos. Although hotels in Vegas are grand, you don’t have to pay through the nose for the great rooms and quality food you get in them. This is because hotels expect that you will partake in a little gambling, and as long as you don’t go crazy, you can have a pretty cheap holiday in this wonderful city.
