Cheap beach vacations

The first day of summer has finally arrived—and for me summer has always meant beaches, lemonade, big sunglasses and sundresses. Since summer never seems to last long enough, it may not be such a bad idea to book your fall or early winter beach vacation now. Especially with so many great offers and drastically reduced vacation packages, you very well save a bunch of money by booking your holiday beach vacation now. Best Beach Bargains under $1,000!
Flight + Resort packages starting from $579pp. Book by 7/31/09.

This year is actually the prime time to book your beach vacation. With the economy suffering and resorts in many beach locations remaining only half (or less full) there have been some truly spectacular savings to be had in the Caribbean and in Hawaii especially. In fact, there are some especially sizzling hot summer deals in Bermuda, which is celebrating its 400th year this year and offering up some great specials at hotels to encourage visitors—including a deal that offers $400 credit with a 4-night stay.

If you are coming from the West Coast, you are probably best off finding cheap vacations and great deals on vacations to Hawaii. With the Pacific archipelago also hurting with the decreased tourist traffic and revenue, there are plenty of fantastic deals savvy travelers can take advantage of. Many carriers are already looking to capitalize on fall bookings. This has meant that airfares to Hawaii are staying low—including a deal on Continental airlines for round-trip airfare from LAX to Honolulu for just $214 round-trip.
