Top 10 Cheapest Summer Getaways in the USA

Ocean City, New Jersey
Many people visit Ocean City, New Jersey, as a way to escape the city — it’s less than three hours away from Baltimore, and only about an hour from Philadelphia. Unlike many busy beach towns, it has outlawed alcohol within the city limits since 1879, which makes it a favorite of many young families. While most families in the area choose a local hotel or cabin, many people decamp to the boardwalk every night to stroll the 2.5 miles along the water and enjoy the food and activities like the midway games and the large Ferris wheel. Ocean City is accessible by car, and the Ocean City Airport receives up to 55 flights per day.
