3 Of The Top Places To Cool Off In America

Depending on where you’re located, summer in the USA can mean blistering heat and long days of the purest sunshine. Of course many people favor this over dull and miserable weather, but in the heat its sometimes difficult to enjoy yourself as you can get flustered. One of the best solutions is to find somewhere with some cool water and a fun atmosphere where you can bring your body temperature down a little. Below we look at three such places in more detail.

Newport Beach, California. This beach resort has got a lot of attention recently due to it being the central location for the well known TV show, the OC. USA holidays to Newport have seen a sharp increase in the last 5 years, partly due to the increased profile of the resort, but also because it now boasts some of the best shopping and restaurants in the whole country.

Key West, Florida.Arguably the best location in the Florida Keys, Key West has got everything from stunning scenery to amazing tropical reefs. You can take a boat out, do a bit or snorkelling and fishing, and achieve a level of calm most people can only dream of. If you want a bit more entertainment then head into town, where you’ll find street performers, artists and more bars serving refreshing drinks than almost any other USA holidays resort.

Schlitterbahn Water Park, Texas. If it’s hot and you’ve got kids, then chances are they won’t be satisfied hanging around drinking pina coladas all day, or maybe they will. They are more likely though to want to spend their time splashing around and zipping down water slides, which makes Schlitterbahn Waterpark the perfect place to visit. This places frequently wins the accolade of ‘Best Waterpark in America’ and with 65-acres of fun, it’s easy to see why.

If you still can’t cool down enough however and you’re not enjoying summer, you can always go on Canada holidays instead, where the climate is a little fresher.
