Family friendly and relaxed, it lacks the all-night partying and seedier aspects that make other nearby beach resorts a haven for unsavory characters.

- Port DicksonFeast on seafood and relax on the stunning beaches of Port Dickson, just 90 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur.
- TampaLet the Gulf Shore breeze carry you to a weekend of sun-kissed fun. The Tampa-St Pete area is Florida's second-biggest metropolitan area.

Two gondolas and a funicular on the edges of town whisk you up to the nearby ski resorts, which connect to a dozen or so more nearby. That’s literally hundreds of miles of easily accessible ski trails with one lift ticket. Back down in the valley, the après-ski atmosphere takes over the cobblestone streets.

For the best market experience, choose the Dirt Market over the touristy Silk Market.
- CesenaticoA highlight of Emilia-Romagna’s riviera, seaside Cesenatico is defined by its water: Leonardo da Vinci designed the town’s highlight port canal, and its Adriatic coastline is defined by its golden beaches. A local maritime museum and water park add to the fun.

You can spend a lot of money on a boat trip past the statue, but given that boats no longer land on Liberty Island, you might as well just take the Staten Island Ferry.
