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.  Finding money in the budget for a vacation has been more challenging over the past year. From what I can tell hitting the road for distant places is not going to happen too much in the near future for a lot of us.  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.

One obvious destination is Southern California.  There are pushing 100 miles of great accessible beaches between San Diego to Malibu—dozens of places where you can lay out your towel.  One source for information and insider tips is the SoCal Vacation Guru, which talks about a lot of the beaches and other vacation opportunities.  I think you’ll find many tips and good advice that you won’t find at other sources.

Mexico is another candidate if you’re looking for even warmer weather.  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 city includes a long peninsula with dozens of beachfront hotels.  One thing that is not lacking in Cancun is warm weather.

There are quite a few websites offering travel deals to fun warm-weather places throughout Mexico and other Caribbean countries.  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?
