Gulf Coast Holidays

For a holiday full of peace and relaxation, Gulf Coast holidays in the USA are ideal for the whole family. The region’s local residents are renowned for their kind and welcoming Southern hospitality, and you’ll feel at home as soon as you amble the sun-kissed beaches and charming seaside towns. 

If you fancy some adventure or a break from sunbathing on one of the many dazzling beaches, there’s plenty for you to do on your Gulf Coast holidays too. There’s plenty for you to explore away from the sandy shores. Discover the expansive unmatched collection of Salvator Dalí’s stunning artworks in St Petersburg, which are housed in an attractive glass bubble building by the water. Or head to the 7,600 acre J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, which is home to 51 species of reptiles and amphibians, 32 mammals and more than 230 types of birds.

Visit pristine white beaches on your holiday in the Gulf Coast

The main draw of Gulf Coast holidays is the vast number of pristine beaches you can visit. The area offers miles of curved and gleaming white sandy shorelines made of silicate quartz that have been flattened into fluffy, almost powder-like, sand. 

Spend your days lazing on the sun-soaked beaches, or for a dose of adventure consider visiting Cayo Costa State Park, a pristine park bordered with nine miles of empty beaches. The crystal-clear waters here provide ideal conditions for snorkelling and scuba diving.

For a sunset to remember, there’s no better place to head on the Gulf Coast than Pier 60, located on Clearwater Beach. Seek the perfect beach spot and watch the glowing sun melt into the ocean with a celebratory glass of wine. Pair your relaxed beach holiday with fascinating cities, like New Orleans, Austin or Miami for a unique multi-centre trip.
