Top Five Best For Guys Looking For A Beach Break

Most folks think of beach breaks as the domain of sunny southern states like Florida, California, and Hawaii but we've also included a favorite spot, St. Joseph, Michigan in our list because it has beautiful sand, fresh water beaches, and some of the best wine and beer in America. While it might be too cold for swimming during the winter months, it is an epic destination for a guys getaway beach break during the summer!

  1. Maui, Hawaii
  2. St Joseph, Michigan
  3. Sanibel, Florida

America really does have it all, from fabulous wine tasting to some of the most breathtakingly beautiful landscapes anywhere in the world and with COVID restrictions that just won’t go away, making travel abroad trickier than usual, it’s a good time to rediscover some home turf.

Just remember that you aren't the only member of the family that needs a break. While your partner is probably thinking of her own girls weekend getaways, a romantic getaway is important too. You've booth been cooped up in the house for far too long and maybe romance has gotten a bit stale.  

Planning a romantic getaway is even more important than a trip with the guys, so make sure to show her how much she matters by booking a romantic hotel (here are some VA suites with hot tub for example) or a bed and breakfast that offers cooking classes, or maybe even something more exotic like a Mississippi river cruise.
