10 Awesome Summer Spots in the US You Need to Visit

Whether you're looking for wide-open nature, charming small towns, or sunny beach vibes, the U.S. has a wealth of unforgettable destinations to explore this season.

1. Glacier National Park, Montana

For the adventure seekers and nature lovers.

If you want dramatic mountain views, turquoise lakes, and the kind of scenery that takes your breath away—Glacier is it. I recommend timing your visit for late June through August when the Going-to-the-Sun Road is fully open and wildflowers are in full bloom. Ideal for couples or families who love hiking, kayaking, or wildlife photography.

2. Maui, Hawaii

For romantic getaways or luxury retreats.

Summer is the perfect time to visit Maui, especially with calm waters for snorkeling and iconic sunsets on Kaanapali Beach. Whether you want to relax in a beachfront resort or explore the island’s waterfalls and volcanoes, I can help tailor a trip that’s equal parts adventure and relaxation.

3. Bar Harbor, Maine

For coastal charm and national park access.

Clients looking to escape the heat love Bar Harbor. It’s the perfect home base for exploring Acadia National Park—and yes, I always book a lobster cruise or carriage ride for a little local flavor. It’s great for families, couples, or solo travelers craving a slower pace and sea breeze.

4. Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada

For active travelers who want lake days and mountain air.

Tahoe is a summer paradise, and I always recommend it for those who want variety—paddleboarding, hiking, biking, or just relaxing lakeside. I can help you choose between the quieter north shore or the livelier south shore depending on your vibe.

5. Sedona, Arizona

For a restorative desert retreat.

While Arizona gets hot, Sedona’s energy vortexes, sunrise hikes, and spa resorts make it a favorite for wellness-focused travelers. I typically suggest morning adventures followed by relaxing afternoons—plus I can recommend stargazing tours that are out of this world.

6. Jackson Hole, Wyoming

For Western charm and national park proximity.

A top pick for nature enthusiasts. Jackson Hole offers rustic elegance with easy access to Grand Teton and Yellowstone. I recommend booking early for summer trips—lodges and guided wildlife safaris fill quickly!

7. San Diego, California

For families or anyone craving sunshine and surf.

Perfect weather, endless beach days, and world-class attractions like the zoo and Balboa Park make San Diego one of my most booked summer spots. I’ll make sure you’re close to both the action and the sand.

8. Charleston, South Carolina

For a blend of history, hospitality, and coastal beauty.

I love recommending Charleston for couples’ trips or girls’ getaways. There’s amazing food, charming streets, and beach escapes just minutes away. Let me help you pick the right boutique hotel or plan a private culinary tour.

9. Traverse City, Michigan

For lakeside charm and wine country vibes.

This Midwest gem is perfect for a slower, scenic summer escape. Think cherry orchards, white-sand beaches along Lake Michigan, and wine tasting along the Leelanau Peninsula. Ideal for families and couples who love local food, nature trails, and cute downtowns with personality.

10. Nantucket, Massachusetts

For timeless summer elegance.

This New England island is the quintessential coastal escape. I suggest renting bikes, exploring local shops, and dining on fresh seafood with a view. It’s ideal for those who love charm, history, and crisp ocean air.
