With peak travel season behind us, many tourists don’t realize that there are plenty of perks of traveling during shoulder season, specifically fewer crowds and peace and quiet. Here are some perfect holiday destinations across the United States for a relaxing fall vacation.
Newport, Rhode Island
Tucked away in the eloquent Northeast, Newport is a charming town filled with tasty waterfront restaurants, apple orchards, and a stunning coastline, boasting a grand lighthouse and tranquil waters. Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the Cliff Walk, particularly with fewer crowds to contend with.
Cape May, New Jersey
Despite being known as a buzzing Jersey Shore town for a fun-filled summer vacation, Cape May is equally enjoyable during the fall. With its stunning landscape painting in red, yellow, and orange leaves and its elegant Victorian buildings, Cape May also has plenty to do during the fall. Not to be missed is its Exit Zero Jazz Festival, which is sure to keep you entertained.
Scottsdale, Arizona
If escaping the chill is your priority, then head down to Scottsdale, Arizona, which offers sunny skies throughout the fall. When you’re not enjoying some sun at the pool, you can enjoy an adventurous hike through the Sonoran Desert and enjoy a round at the world-class golf courses. When you’re not exploring, enjoy some of the fine dining available in downtown Scottsdale.
