Destin
#5 in Best Places to Visit in July
Destin is one of the Florida Panhandle’s most popular vacation destinations. Although July is one of the town’s hottest months of the year, this peak season month is an excellent time to enjoy outdoor activities. You can visit beaches like Henderson Beach State Park, where the white Appalachian quartz sand stays cool even in the summer heat, or put your angling skills to the test at the World’s Luckiest Fishing Village’s jetties and piers. If you prefer to eat your fish instead of catching it, you’ll find plenty of restaurants around town serving fresh seafood.
Oaxaca
#6 in Best Places to Visit in July
July is a fantastic time to visit Oaxaca and immerse yourself in this southern Mexican city’s indigenous culture, especially during the annual Guelaguetza festival. Typically held on the last two Mondays of the month, this colorful celebration features locals from different communities wearing traditional clothing, performing regional folk dances and selling Oaxacan food and crafts throughout the city. When you’re not taking part in the festivities, relax with a margarita in the Zócalo or check out cultural sites like the Templo de Santo Domingo and the Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca.
