Escape the winter winds and polar vortexes with these always-reliable beach towns.
With historic landmarks, incredible nightlife and stunning beaches, San Juan is an easy go to for snowbirds. Visit Puerto Rico’s capital city and hit the beach, soak up the sun, and enjoy local cuisine and a vibrant nightlife all winter long.
A real “no duh,” but you can’t make a list of winter-ready beach towns without mentioning at least one Hawai’ian island. Stay in Honolulu for easy access to everything, or venture out to one of the lesser-known beach towns. Enjoy the iconic Waikiki beach, incredible sunshine and breathtaking natural beauty — completely snow free.
Myrtle Beach is a resort town on South Carolina’s coast famous with golfers and beach bums. Hit the boardwalk in winter, lounge on the beach and ride one of the country’s tallest Ferris wheels, Sky Wheel, while your winter jackets hang in the closet.
About 90 miles north of Cuba, off the Florida peninsula, Key West is a bubbly, fun island and the perfect departure from a cold northern winter. Enjoy the island life while diving, snorkeling and partaking in a slew of warm-weather activities.
Another southern island you should know, South Padre Island is well-known in the nature-loving world, with sea turtle rescues and nature preserves. This is a great stop for beach seekers who want some wild diversions.
