7. Key West, Florida
The Florida Keys, which stretch over 124 miles from Miami-Dade County in the north to Key West, offer more opportunities for sailing and other water sports than almost any other similar destination in America. In fact, it’s safe to say that Key West is our country’s crown jewel.
It’s also one of the greatest places for those who want to kick back and enjoy a slower pace of living, so no matter how relaxed or active you want your vacation to be, you’ll find it here. The sunsets are incredibly stunning, and one of the best ways to truly experience them is to take a sunset sailing cruise.
If you prefer to stay on land, the dock at Mallory Square provides a glorious view of the sun going down. Seniors can also take a day trip to Dry Tortugas National Park, famous for its world-class snorkeling. Don’t forget to also sample Cuban-inspired cuisine at one of the many eateries that line the island’s main beachfront.
