There are times when I just would love to lay out on a warm beach or sit in the shade by a pool, reading a good book. In this economy, most of us are being a lot more careful about how we spend our money. Admittedly flying to exotic resorts may not be in the budget this year. If you do have a little money for a sunny vacation, here are some ideas about affordable destinations where you can find some warm weather.

The first place that comes to mind is good old Southern California. There are over 50 miles of great accessible beaches between San Diego to Malibu—dozens of places where you can lay out your towel. Check out the SoCal Vacation Guru for details on many beach communities and beach-oriented activities. The site includes tips and wisdom in planning your Southern California vacation

If you’d like to go further south, you might want to look to Mexico. Specifically, you can find many nice Cancun Travel deals online, and this resort city on the Yucatan Peninsula has a lot to offer summer travel visitors. The Hotel Zone has over 100 hotels, most of which have beach frontage. You’ll get plenty of warm weather in Cancun.

There are travel deals to be found for warm-weather destinations throughout the Caribbean. Cancun is just one of many great resort areas. Consider also Jamaica and Playa del Carmen. But research carefully your intended destination, not only to ensure a safe and trouble-free trip but also to learn about the area (culture, history, interesting attractions, etc.) to make the trip more fun. Of course the internet makes this kind of research amazingly easy; what did we do before the Web came along?
