The Most Unique Beachfront Holiday Destinations for Summer

The Most Unique Beachfront Holiday Destinations for Summer

As summer has started, along with our ‘new normal’ of social distancing, many people are wondering what their holidays will look like in the future. Are you eager to fly to your destination? Is a road trip in order? Regardless of how you’ll get there, lapping up the sun and sand can be the best vacation of the year.

As far as unwinding and truly traveling in the world, you can’t beat a shoreline holiday. There’s something about the ocean, sun, and sand that drives our considerations from the world and lets us truly relax away from work and the everyday disturbances of life.

In case you’re arranging a beach getaway, a cottage, villa or apartment is the perfect way to have a sumptuous escape, no matter your budget. If you pick one of the following extraordinary travel destinations, you’ll get the opportunity to appreciate some of the best shorelines the world has to offer as well. From lavish to budget-friendly and tropical to calm, we explore the absolute best beachfront holiday spots.

 

Algarve, Portugal

The Most Unique Beachfront Holiday Destinations for Summer

Sun, historical sites, sand, colorful architecture and warm weather year-round are just a few of the many reasons Portugal’s Algarve region is a must-visit spot. In fact, some of Europe’s best beaches, stunning grottos and breathtaking bluff vistas have turned this southern destination into one of the most desired locales in Portugal. Almost Completely destroyed from the 1755 earthquake, it has less historical tour options than different regions of the nation, but the picturesque natural beauty is really why you’ll want to travel here.

Many tourists to Portugal visit the Algarve, and some of them do not abandon their own resorts to discover the natural beauty of the region. Those who don’t venture away are missing out on some of the world’s best beaches and countless leisure and sporting activities. There are also traditional towns, such as Faro, Sagres (also known “the ends of the world” prior to the Age of Discovery), and Lagos — all worthy of exploring. The beaches also happen to be among the cleanest in Europe, inviting visitors to enjoy completely unhindered beauty.

 

Sea Isle City, New Jersey, United States

The Most Unique Beachfront Holiday Destinations for Summer

Vacationing in Sea Isle City, N.J., is a popular choice among travelers within the United States. There is plenty to see and do in this small Oceanside town, which has been voted one of the best beaches on the Eastern Seaboard.

This city is a fisherman’s paradise, attracting thousands of anglers to the area each year. Fluke and bluefish fishing are a popular draw, but there are countless other species off the shores too. Some vessels leave from Sea Isle for overnight or multiple-day big game fishing trips on the Atlantic Shelf. Excellent recreational fishing, as well as sunset boat charters, are readily available from both Sea Isle City and nearby Ocean City.

The summer months are the most popular for tourists to this beachfront city, but this isn’t the only season when the town is enjoyable. Tourists can visit many of the shops, restaurants, and other sights on the boardwalk and promenade year-round, where there is a variety of local stores and cuisine that is sure to please just about anyone. In February, the city is also host to the infamous Polar Bear Plunge, during which participants jump into the frigid waters, followed by several other events and celebrations.

 

Santorini, Greece Shorelines

Perissa Black Beach:

Perissa is viewed as a standout amongst the most well-known shorelines of Santorini Island, located 15 kilometres southeast of Fira. Because of its noteworthy dark sandy shoreline, Perissa has been drawing an increasing amount of guests and can get swarmed in the busy summer months. An incredible variety of taverns, hotels, beach bars, restaurants, bars, rooms and nightclubs are accessible here, making it an ideal destination for those who want to find everything in one place.

 

Akrotiri Red Beach:

This iconic red shoreline is a standout amongst the most well-known shorelines of Santorini. It is situated close to the town and the ancient site of Akrotiri. The shoreline has extraordinary red sand and the slope behind it makes it even more scenic. Because of a little shoreline zone, it becomes busy rapidly. One can find a number of amenities, such as umbrellas, chairs, and paddleboards for lease. Akrotiri Red Beach is easily accessed by vehicle and on foot, but it can also be reached by the ocean aboard a watercraft leaving from the ports of Akrotiri or Fira.

 

Monolithos Beach:

The Most Unique Beachfront Holiday Destinations for Summer

Monolithos is the closest beach to the famed town of Kamari. This shoreline is found 9 kilometers from Fira and near the air terminal. The brilliant sandy shoreline offers great potential for visitors of all interests. This shoreline is home to several beachfront bars, hotels, a football pitch, youngsters’ play zone, basketball court, and shade-offering umbrellas. This is a sorted out shoreline partitioned into two sections, one is for families with kids and the other is reserved for adults only.

 

Florida, United States

Why pick a shoreline getaway in Florida? A valid reason is that wherever you choose for your Florida vacation, you are never more than sixty miles from the shoreline.

Florida is easily accessed via an international airport, the temperature is pleasurable all year, and it can be as luxurious or budget-friendly as you like. Whether you are searching for a romantic getaway, a family excursion, or a relaxing escape by yourself, there is a Florida shoreline destination appealing to your needs.

 

Siesta Public Beach

The Most Unique Beachfront Holiday Destinations for Summer

This beach, found in Sarasota, is a family-friendly shoreline as a result of its lifeguards on duty, tranquil waters, and fine white sand. This area has won several honors for the best shoreline based on water quality, facilities, and sand. The Siesta Public Beach shoreline facilities include restrooms, picnic areas, snack bars, volleyball courts, play areas, trails, and tennis courts. If you enjoy collecting shells, don’t miss Turtle Beach on the island’s south end.

 

Tampa Bay Area

Situated on Florida’s West Coast, on the Gulf of Mexico, the Tampa Bay region is a waterfront paradise. Miles of white sandy shorelines along the Gulf Coast offer boundless choices for a fun and unwinding get-away. If you require a break from the sand and surf, there are a lot of nearby activities to keep both children and adults entertained, like the the Florida Aquarium, the Lowry Park Zoo, and the Museum of Science and Industry.

 

Costa Rica

Montezuma Beach

Montezuma Beach is a unique tropical village with centuries of history. It is just beside the postcard-worthy shoreline of Playa Cedro. This village and beach has a stunning landscape, which includes mango trees, bananas, and a variety of other fruits and foliage. Most notably, the area is home to more than three stunning waterfalls that attract visitors from around the globe. With so many natural and cultural attractions, it’s no wonder Montezuma Beach has been ranked amongst the top 10 beaches of Central America.
