]]> 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.

]]> When many people think of beach towns in the U.S., one of two places probably comes to mind: the Jersey Shore, or somewhere in southern California around Los Angeles. While there are some great beach towns in these two areas, there are also plenty of other less popular areas that are also worth a visit. With summer about to begin, plenty of us are looking for new spots to get away and relax. Whether you’re looking to escape for a month or just take a long weekend, here are a few of our favorite places:

Montauk, New York

Often referred to as “the end of the world,” this little town is located a few hours outside of New York City at the tip of Long Island. Montauk has beautiful beaches that are great for surfing or relaxing on the sand. Stay in a hotel in town and enjoy one of the area’s trendy restaurants. 

Key West, Florida

Key West could also be considered an “end of the world” destination. It’s an island located in the Florida Keys, and it’s the southernmost point in the state. The beaches are beautiful, but what really makes visiting Key West worthwhile are the coral reefs. Diving and snorkeling are popular activities. 

Daufuskie Island, South Carolina

Daufuskie is the southernmost inhabited island in South Carolina. What we love about this island is how quiet it is because no cars are allowed.

]]> Traveling the world is a lot of fun, but sometimes it can be expensive, and travel within budget is not a simple thing. It is a fact, that much of the expense on the trip revolves around food.

Here are some tips to help you cut down on travel expenses.

Make Coffee!

Coffee is expensive in some places in the world. A cup of coffee can cost between $2 and $8 in some places! If you are staying at an Airbnb, bring coffee from home, and make coffee in the apartment. In most hotels, you can make coffee for yourself in the lobby or at breakfast. 

Look for a Local Restaurant!

Got hungry in the middle of the day? Avoid tourist traps and try to look for a local restaurant, where the residents of the city eat. The food will be delicious, and usually cheaper than in the tourist attractions.

Cook!

A trip to the supermarket is always fun. Go to the local store and buy groceries to cook a delicious dinner on your own, or make sandwiches from local bread and spreads. It’s a great way to save money but also to experience the place in an authentic way.
