Conditions also will remain dry.

If you thought Myrtle Beach was just funnel cakes, mini golf, and sunburns, think again. The Grand Strand is getting a serious glow-up in 2026, and the food and beverage industry is leading the charge. We're talking Guy Fieri's largest entertainment concept yet, Tennessee's favorite distillery heading south, a 100-foot roller coaster, and enough live music to make Nashville jealous.

Carrabelle is one of those rare coastal towns that still feels undiscovered. You'll find unspoiled beaches, working waterfronts, and generations of locals who have built a community that truly feels like family. It's the kind of place where people come for the natural beauty, but they fall in love with the slower pace and genuine hospitality.

Marquesa may be one of the most unique properties in the Sunshine State. Constructed in 1884, the main building of the hotel was originally a butcher's home and still retains tons of Old Florida charm.

Omni Fort Lauderdale, the brand's flagship outpost in Greater Fort Lauderdale, opened in mid-December, just in time for the busy Caribbean sailing season. Since my first cruise out of Port Everglades in 2008, I've endured subpar hotels that, while checking off two basic requirements-shuttle to the airport and port, and proximity to the port-weren't anything to write home about. But the Omni-with 801 guest rooms, including 82 suites, six restaurants, and a spa-is a game-changer for fellow cruise travelers.

Global hospitality company IHG has planted a new flag on the Treasure Coast with Voco Sandpiper All-Inclusive Resort, now open in Port St. Lucie along the St. Lucie River.
