Your Beach Vacation

Sunshine and cool breezes slowly turn to sultry, starry nights. This is the beach vacation of your dreams, where you’ll reach that blissful state of ‘ahh’. Your stress-free, no-itinerary days may include lounging at Myrtle Beach resorts or swimming with dolphins on your Hawaii vacations. But whether your trip is romantic or rooted in family fun, we’ve got the perfect beach resorts for you.

Whether you prefer a good siesta or fiesta, there are enough beaches in Mexico to satisfy every travel whim. The beaches along Cancun, for example, thrum with activity all day and night, but those of Tulum can lend some much-needed peace. And Orbitz has plenty of beach resorts all over sunny Mexico that beckon with soft, white sand and those beautiful ocean waves.

Sure, there’s more to Hawaii than its countless beaches, but we’re pretty sure they’re still one of this state’s best features. Get the most out of your beach vacation at one of Orbitz’ many Hawaiian beach resorts, and kick back with a drink. Or a massage in the sand. Whatever floats your proverbial boat.

The panhandle between the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean is pure American paradise. And it’s lined with Florida beach resorts from Clearwater to Jacksonville. So grab the whole family, hit the road and settle in for some long days lounging on that gorgeous sand.

Made up of nearly countless beautiful islands, the Caribbean is a global go-to destination for beach vacations. Whether you decide to get lost on Martinique, party down in Punta Cana or relax on idyllic St. Lucia, Orbitz has the Caribbean beach resorts to make your trip magical.

True paradise can be really close to home. And Orbitz’s California beach resorts are really, really close. Step from your room and onto the sand anywhere from San Diego and Los Angeles to Catalina Island and beautiful Bodega Bay. Oh, and don’t forget the sunscreen.

The Bahamas are practically made of beaches—the string of 700 islands and cays offer some of the world’s best scuba diving, snorkeling and sunbathing around. And many of these islands are lined with beautiful beach resorts for every type of traveler. So whether you’re planning a romantic getaway or family trip, pack your bags and book with Orbitz!

All you need to know about beach vacations

Where is the best beach to vacation.

How can I get a cheap beach vacation?

Pop in your destination and travel dates and sort by ‘deals,’ and use the ‘your budget’ filter to see the cheapest beach vacations currently available. Try changing your travel dates to see different price options too. You’ll usually find bigger discounts on flights and hotel rooms in your location’s low season.

What beach is the cheapest to vacation at?

Rent a self-catering condo in Myrtle Beach for a family beach vacation and save on accommodation and dining out while making the most of the Atlantic Ocean and white sands. Or pick one of the many affordable all-inclusive Cancun resorts with well-priced flights, hotels, meals, and activities all included in the price.

How can I find great beach vacation packages?

Choose your beach destination, the hotel you want to stay in, and the length of your trip. Then pick your flight. You can add car rental, too. By bundling flights and hotels into a package, you’ll save money. It’s never been easier to book beach vacation packages with Orbitz.

What are the best beach vacations in the world?

With staggeringly beautiful beaches, majestic cliffs, and dramatic volcanoes, beach hotels in Hawaii are world class, especially if you’re into surfing, swimming, or just beach lounging. Sleep to the sound of the waves at an oceanfront hotel in the Seychelles where swaying palm trees, rock boulders, and ribbons of sugar-soft sand meet the Indian Ocean. We have so many stunning beach vacations to choose from at Orbitz.

What are the best beach vacations for families?

Beach hotels in the USA offer a vast choice of fantastic family-friendly resorts and amenities from the east to the west coast. Panama City Beach in Florida, for example, is brimming with cool kids’ attractions and fun pools close to the white-sand beach. Or fly to a family resort in the Bahamas where kids can play, adults can relax, and everyone can enjoy the crystal-clear waters and pink-sand beaches.

Honolulu, Hawaii

When you dream of an island getaway — the kind that comes complete with glittering hotels along a white-sand beach — you've got Honolulu in mind. Oahu's largest city and the state capital, Honolulu is home to many top attractions: sample a great dim-sum lunch in vibrant Chinatown or check out Aloha Tower, the city's landmark harbor-side clocktower surrounded by a marketplace brimming with shops and popular restaurants. 

Honolulu is also home to famed Waikiki Beach, located between the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor and Diamond Head. Just as you've seen in countless postcards, Waikiki's Beach's white sand runs along a 2-mile stretch of coast, flanked by dozens of high-rise hotels. The area is popular for sunbathing, swimming, surfing, body-boarding, picnicking, and outrigger canoeing. At the end of the beach is Diamond Head, one of the world's most famous volcanic rings. Although no diamonds were ever found here, the calcite crystals in the lava rock sparkle in the bright Hawaiian sunshine.

Miami, Florida

Arguably the most exotic city Americans can visit without a passport, Miami is home to sun, sand and irrepressible style. The city's 1970s boom has resulted in a flourishing economy. Home to many Cuban-Americans, Miami is a thriving multicultural metropolis that revels in its Latin American roots. Miami Beach's white sands welcome you to a tropical paradise where you can soak up the rays, boat, water ski and windsurf. 

Attend a music festival, enjoy world-class cuisine, browse in fabulous shops and dance all night to the sizzling Latin beat. Hundreds of restored Art Deco buildings await admiration in South Beach, the first 20th-century district on the National Register of Historic Places. Noteworthy attractions in ethnically diverse downtown Miami include the Miami-Dade Cultural Center, containing the city's main art museum, historical museum and library; the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, a grand movie palace and concert hall; and the Freedom Tower, a key site for Cuban immigrants.

Featured Jamaica Beach Resorts

Jun 21 - Jun 22

Deep in the heart of the Caribbean, the island nation of Jamaica has miles of unspoiled beaches, lush rain forests, and green mountains — it's been called "the biggest little island in the world" for good reason. The edges of the island are lined with resorts, while the interior is verdant and blossoming with all manner of flora and fauna. Laze on the sugar-soft sands of any one of Jamaica's many beaches or take an invigorating hike through the lush Blue Mountains. 

On the west end of Jamaica, Negril boasts seven miles of beaches and serene waters to go swimming, snorkeling, or jet skiing in. At night, the discos are packed in Negril. You can also swim, play golf and tennis, and go to the spa at most of the island's resorts, and explore Jamaican culture in the city centers. In Kingston, Jamaica's capital, reggae fans can take a tour of the Bob Marley Museum at 56 Hope Road. In town, don't miss your chance to taste authentic Jamaican street food — try some spicy jerk chicken and wash it down with a Red Stripe.

San Diego, California

Known for its family-friendly attractions, its proximity to Baja Mexico and its gorgeous coastlines, San Diego makes a perfect Southern California escape. The oldest port on the West Coast, San Diego is home to such famous attractions as the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld. In the heart of the city is Balboa Park, one of the finest urban parks in the country, home to numerous museums, gardens, galleries and theaters. 

Take advantage of this vacation spot's perpetually idyllic climate and stay outside: you can swim, surf, kayak, bicycle, in-line skate, golf, and more in California's second largest city. But it's not just about the endless beaches or Shamu the whale: San Diego also boasts a vibrant art scene and hopping nightlife. Go to the historic Gaslamp Quarter (so-called because of the gas lamps that lined the streets) to check out both the well-preserved Victorian architecture of many modern storefronts and an array of fashionable restaurants and bars. Since San Diego is just 16 miles from Mexico, be sure to sample some tasty Mexican fare while you're there.

Choose the rustic beauty of a Cancun eco-resort, the amenities of a high-rise hotel on the beach, or the convenience of one of the area's plentiful all-inclusive resorts. No matter where you choose to stay, you'll be close to some of Mexico's most glorious beaches, archaeological sites, and natural preserves. Catch a tan at famous beaches like Playa Chacmool and Delifines. 

And don't miss out on a chance to see Cancun's abundant sea life. Snorkeling offers an easy, inexpensive way to swim through the turquoise waters and float among bright-colored tropical fish. Visit Yamil Lu'um, a Mayan temple dating back to the 14th century. Golfers can hit the links at a number of beautiful and challenging courses. After dark, head to a cantina or one of dozens of nightclubs to dance the night away.

Other Beach Packing Tips

Overall Plan: Light and breezy items should dominate your wardrobe choices. While you want to be comfortable, skip the faded and raggedy T-shirts and instead aim for a summery look that’s casual but polished. And while you’re packing, you may be tempted to focus just on getting there, make sure you also spend some time thinking about how you’ll transport wet and sandy items back home. There’s nothing worse than a suitcase full of sand. CGear has a line of products, including lounge chairs, blankets, and bags , that are “sand-free” and are must-have additions to your beach packing list.

What’s Essential? No beach vacation is complete without a swimsuit . Buy more than one so there’s always something dry to wear, and bring them along in your carry-on. For footwear, pack flip-flops, sandals , water shoes , or canvas tennis shoes, depending on the type of beach you’re on.

The Only Packing Checklist You’ll Ever Need

Choose a mesh or nylon beach bag with a distinctive pattern so it’s easy to spot in a crowd, and make sure it has inside pockets, preferably waterproof, to store valuables and small electronics such as your cell phone. Speaking of gadgets, make sure that they’re waterproof or have protective covers. A soft-sided insulated tote for drinks and snacks is easier to carry than a bulky cooler. Pack some disposable wipes for quick clean-up. Reusable plastic bags can be your best friend: Use them to bring food to the beach, and then carry wet swimsuits and towels on the way home. And you’ll probably want a portable speaker , too. For more ideas, see 15 Beach Bag Essentials You Need for Summer .

Secret Weapon:  If you wear corrective lenses and your beach sessions involve exploring reefs for colorful fish, you may want to invest in a prescription snorkel mask . Having your own mask can also prevent communicable diseases. (I once got a wicked case of pinkeye from a tainted snorkel mask in Costa Rica. Lesson learned.)

Are You Booking Travel Far Enough in Advance?

Safety First:  No matter how good it feels, the sun is not your friend. Load up on sun protection with a strong sunscreen that you can reapply often. If you’re traveling to your destination by plane, look into  sunscreen towelettes that won’t explode or leak like bottled sunscreen. When you’re lathering up, don’t forget your face. Add SPF lip balm, and wear sunglasses and a sun hat . Make sure to check the environmental regulations at your beach destination, as some places are banning harmful and coral-damaging chemical sunscreens. Instead, shop for reef-safe sunscreens .

Leave at Home:  Being on the beach is an excuse to cut loose; avoid bringing clothing that’s too stuffy or structured. If you’re staying at a hotel, find out ahead of time if towels and other beach amenities are included. Many  vacation rentals also have “house” items such as camp chairs and barbecue grills so there’s no need to bring your own.
