Additional key takeaways from HomeToGo’s 2023 Beach Price Index include:
Sunshine on the Mind: The leading region in this year’s index, the Gulf Coast is also expected to boast the warmest weather. Travelers can enjoy perfect temperatures around 68°F, on average, less than two rainy or overcast days. The West Coast, on the other hand, is predicted to have the lowest temperatures and most rainy days.
Most Affordable Region: This year, the nightly prices for accommodation rentals per person are consistent across all the regions. Travelers hoping to save a few extra bucks can head to the most affordable region, the Gulf Coast, where the average cost is $128.67. On the East Coast average price is $130.24. Those planning a West Coast vacation can expect to pay a nightly price of $132.42 per person, on average, for a vacation rental.
Best Beach for Bargain Hunters: Budget-savvy travelers can delight in all the spring break fun without spending a ton at Bethany Beach (35), a small coastal town in Delaware. Ringing in as the most affordable U.S. destination, travelers can expect the average nightly accommodation to be less than $55 per person, which is more than half as much as Havens Beach (69) in Sag Harbor, New York, the most expensive beach in this year’s ranking.
