Father-Daughter Getaways for Father’s Day

If you caught the travel bug from dear old Dad, a quick weekend getaway can be the perfect surprise for Father’s Day. Check out some of the great destinations below for ideas and inspiration.

Hilton Head, S.C.

For dads who are happiest on the putting green, plan a getaway to Hilton Head. Not only are the warm shores perfect for some summer sunbathing, renting a beach house for the weekend for the whole family is affordable if planned in advance. With 33 championship golf courses nearby, you can’t go wrong.

The Florida Keys

If your father is happier with a fishing rod than a golf club, head to the Florida Keys for some amazing saltwater fishing. The inner curve of the Keys is home to the favorites of recreational fishermen — bonefish, tarpon and others — while the outer curve of the Keys contains swordfish, marlin and sailfish.

Yosemite National Park

This is, after all, the year of the National Park for many travelers, as the NPS celebrates its 100^th birthday. Whether your dad likes to pitch a tent or roll in with a luxury RV, take him to one of the most popular parks of all, Yosemite.

Portland, Ore.

Maybe your dad isn’t the active type, and prefers relaxing with an ice-cold beer. Head to Portland, where there are more local breweries than any other city. June also happens to be the start of festival season for the city, so you’re sure to find lots of other activities to keep you occupied, intoxicated or not.
