Memorial Day Travel: Where To Spend Memorial Day Weekend
Memorial Day falls on the last Monday in May each year (on May 30th in 2022), kicking off the summer travel season. It's the ideal time to take a trip pretty much anywhere in the U.S.—the summer heat has not yet set in, the showers of spring have ended, and peak season (and its peak prices) has yet to come. So check out our deals to destinations around the U.S. and abroad and make the most of Memorial Day weekend.
Fort Myers, Florida
Relax beachside and spot dolphins or venture over to the botanical gardens. Explore the homes of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford or take a tour of the Mangrove Forests. Temperatures in late May hang around 80 to 90 degrees.
Long Island, New York
A great spot for wine tasting on the East Coast is Long Island, New York. Explore Montauk Lighthouse or visit Fire Island. Catch the opening day for Long Island's minor league baseball team. There's tons of things to do on Long Island in May.
