5 Relaxing Destinations in the United States
Today we are overbooked, overworked, and overstressed. That’s why it is so important not to plan a vacation that is over planned with every moment filled with an activity.
We have an innate need to relax and recharge. We simply aren’t built to go full steam 24/7/365.
So whether your idea of relaxing is lounging on a beach or unwinding in fresh mountain air, these destinations will help you decompress and find inner peace.
- Sanibel Island, Florida - Sanibel Island is 15 miles of unspoiled beauty. Pristine sands, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, playful dolphins, and over 250 types of shells await you in this true paradise. Sit on the beach and listen to the waves or practice your best Sanibel Stoop and collect sea shells. Either way, serenity will be yours.
2. Acadia National Park - The beauty of Acadia is breathtaking. Its uniqueness lies in the proximity of the quiet mountain forest next to the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Located on coastal Maine, Acadia’s 47,000 stunning acres have something for everyone. Explore its beauty by driving the Loop Road. As you traverse through a landscape of lakes, ponds, rocky coastline, mountains, beaches, and forests your cares will melt away.
