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.
