11. Enjoy a Staycation at a Cool Coastal Resort
There’s no shame in going down a tried and trusted path and booking a coastal resort for your summer travels. After all, California has so many pristine sunny coasts it’d be a crime not to take advantage of them every so often. Are resorts a little too bougie for your taste? Coastal glamping is the next best alternative for a seaside summer getaway.
12. Test your Survival Skills on a Boondocking Trip
Now, if you’re someone who likes camping camping, you may as well go boondocking in California's remote areas. Go ahead with this summer trip if you already have a bit of camping experience under your belt—you’ll need your survival skills more than ever. Don’t forget to double-check your remote camping essentials list either; the last thing you want on a remote camping trip is noticing you forgot a necessary item.
13. Cool off at California’s Hidden Beaches
With over 800 miles of coastline, the Golden State has its fair share of secret beaches you probably haven’t visited yet. These underrated stretches of sand make some of the best summer vacation spots as they give you a chance to bask in the sun, go for a surf or swim, and watch the sun go down without too many people in sight.
14. Try your Hand at an Extreme Sport
When it comes to extreme adventuring in the great outdoors, there’s no place better than California. Between the lush green forests, blue ocean waters, and wild majestic mountains, the Golden State is the best place to connect with your inner daredevil during your summer travels.
