]]> When it comes to travel, some locations are great for urban exploration, while others serve as ideal settings to relax. Those that can offer both are few and far between, but for times when we want to keep our options open, coastal cities make for an excellent solution. With all of the excitement and convenience of the city and the type of tranquil charm only the beach can provide, these cities have something for everyone, whether you’re planning a solo trip or struggling to agree on a destination with your travel companions. Here are a few especially worth the trip. 

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is one of the largest cities along the Mediterranean Sea and a prime example of urban life integrated seamlessly with a relaxed beach culture. With a rich cultural heritage and over 300 days of sunshine each year, the Catalonian capital is ideal for tourists looking to unwind, sightsee, and have fun in one place. Spend a few hours on Barceloneta Beach, check out the famous works of Antoni Gaudí, then end your day with some tapas and a pitcher of sangria around 10 p.m.—just as the locals do. 

Miami, Florida

Miami is well-known for its vibrant nightlife, but the city is also a hub of world-class food, distinctive architecture and postcard-worthy beaches. South Beach, recognizable by its iconic pastel buildings and crystal blue waters, is the perfect place to spend the day soaking up some sun before heading out to party at clubs like LIV, E11EVEN, and Story.

Tel Aviv, Israel

Another Mediterranean gem, Tel Aviv is home to a unique combination of beautiful beaches, contemporary art, and buzzing nightlife that sets it apart from other metropolitan areas in the region. The city has a diverse, yet laid-back culture that’s easy to enjoy against a backdrop of palm trees and Bauhaus architecture. Take a stroll along the Tayelet by Gordon Beach, sign up for a surf lesson if you’re feeling adventurous, then head to HaKosem to fill up on falafel.

What better way to do so than soaking in the sun at the beach? Here are some of the best beaches where you can recharge on your next vacation in Cyprus.

Golden Beach

The most remote beach in all of Cyprus, Golden Beach is located on the far northeastern coastline of the island. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, this beach is the ideal place to breathe in the salty sea air and unwind.

]]> Though it may be cold for much of the year, there’s a reason that Maine is often referred to as “Vacationland.” When the heat finally hits, there’s nothing quite like escaping to one of the state’s beach towns for a relaxing summer getaway. Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly destination or a romantic seaside retreat, these picturesque towns offer an ideal setting to unwind and have some fun in the sun. Read on to learn more about some of our favorite towns to consider for your next vacation.

Ogunquit

Ogunquit is a quaint town on Maine’s southern coast renowned for its gorgeous cliffside views and long, sandy beaches. Tourists can take in the scenery with a leisurely walk along the famous Marginal Way, or spend some time sunbathing next to the water. When you’re done, head to the artists’ colony Perkins Cove to check out the local shops and galleries.

Kennebunkport

Once a modest fishing village, this quintessential New England town is a popular tourist destination thanks to its pristine beaches and historic charm. Its Goose Rocks Beach is the perfect place to spend a day swimming and sunbathing before heading to the downtown area of Dock Square for a seafood dinner and some shopping. We also highly recommend taking a boat tour to see the iconic Cape Porpoise lighthouse.

Old Orchard Beach

Located just south of Portland, Old Orchard Beach is a classic New England seaside town that’s great for families and other large groups. With a seven-mile stretch of sandy beach, the town has plenty of space for spreading out by the water, and its Pier and Palace Playland amusement park offer a lively atmosphere that beach-goers of all ages are sure to enjoy.

What better way to do so than soaking in the sun at the beach? Here are some of the best beaches where you can recharge on your next vacation in Cyprus.

Golden Beach

The most remote beach in all of Cyprus, Golden Beach is located on the far northeastern coastline of the island. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, this beach is the ideal place to breathe in the salty sea air and unwind.

According to legend, the Greek goddess Aphrodite first emerged from the sea from this very spot. When you’re done relaxing on the beach, there are plenty of great lookout spots to capture the perfect holiday Instagram snapshot.

Coral Bay

]]> Though it may be cold for much of the year, there’s a reason that Maine is often referred to as “Vacationland.” When the heat finally hits, there’s nothing quite like escaping to one of the state’s beach towns for a relaxing summer getaway. Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly destination or a romantic seaside retreat, these picturesque towns offer an ideal setting to unwind and have some fun in the sun. Read on to learn more about some of our favorite towns to consider for your next vacation.

Ogunquit

Ogunquit is a quaint town on Maine’s southern coast renowned for its gorgeous cliffside views and long, sandy beaches. Tourists can take in the scenery with a leisurely walk along the famous Marginal Way, or spend some time sunbathing next to the water. When you’re done, head to the artists’ colony Perkins Cove to check out the local shops and galleries.

Kennebunkport

Once a modest fishing village, this quintessential New England town is a popular tourist destination thanks to its pristine beaches and historic charm. Its Goose Rocks Beach is the perfect place to spend a day swimming and sunbathing before heading to the downtown area of Dock Square for a seafood dinner and some shopping. We also highly recommend taking a boat tour to see the iconic Cape Porpoise lighthouse.

Old Orchard Beach

Located just south of Portland, Old Orchard Beach is a classic New England seaside town that’s great for families and other large groups. With a seven-mile stretch of sandy beach, the town has plenty of space for spreading out by the water, and its Pier and Palace Playland amusement park offer a lively atmosphere that beach-goers of all ages are sure to enjoy.
