8 Dreamy Vacation Destinations for Summer 2023
Snowdonia, Wales
Despite its name, Snowdonia makes for one of the best places to visit in summer. Outdoorsy types will thrive at the national park where you can hike up a variety of footpaths to the top of Mount Snowdon.
It’s also a great place to stargaze at night, where there’s no light pollution from surrounding cities. Snowdonia offers an eclectic mix of adventure sports like the man-made “wave garden” in Conwy Valley where you can surf in a little lagoon.
ZipWorld has the fastest zip line in the world as well as one of the largest zip areas, including an entire underground area built in a cave (complete with bounce mats and slides for the kids). Then of course there are all the castles in the area, which will let you step back in time and appreciate the area’s history.
Want a true vacation? It's time you unplugged for real and reconnected with your loved ones. These off the grid vacations will allow you to do just that.
Wildwood Crest, NJ
Hopefully, Jersey Shore hasn’t turned you off from considering the area as a vacation destination because Wildwood Crest was voted TripAdvisor’s Top Summer Hot Spot in recent years. The epitome of boardwalk beach culture, Wildwood Crest has a classic American seaside amusement park called Morey’s Pier & Beachfront Water Parks.
A series of piers filled with rides, games and concerts dot the beach with something for everyone to enjoy. Don’t miss Breakfast in the Sky, which is exactly what it sounds like, but is served while you ride a giant Ferris wheel!
Cheap fitness classes like zumba and yoga are also offered in a nearby park and biking is a popular activity along the boardwalk. The area has a number of affordable vacation rental options, which makes it an attractive alternative to other east coast summer standbys like Martha’s Vineyard or Myrtle Beach.
