Bermuda

If you think Bermuda is an island in the Caribbean – a common misconception – you’ve probably been overlooking it as a summer getaway destination. Look again, as this Atlantic isle's location – on par with Savannah, Georgia – means its weather is ideal from June to September (not January to March). Pink-sand beaches and warm waters beckon, but there’s also plenty to do off the sand on this British-flavored island. Pick from great duty-free shopping or lush golf courses, and keep an eye out for postcard-perfect pastel-hued houses, swaying palmettos, and men in Bermuda shorts. And though the island is known for being ultra-luxe, don’t worry about going broke – there are plenty of places to bunk down with breaking the bank.

How: Fly direct to Bermuda (BDA) from Atlanta (Delta; 3 hours), Baltimore (USA 3000; 2.5 hours), Boston (Delta, JetBlue; 2.5 hours), Charlotte (US Airways; 2.5 hours), Miami (American; 2.5 hours), New York (American, Continental, JetBlue, Northwest; 2.5 hours), Orlando (US Airways; 3 hours), Philadelphia (US Airways; 2.5 hours), and Washington, D.C.
