The 13 Best Summer Vacation Destinations For Cancer Zodiac Signs

In general, a Cancer prefers a more quiet vacation over a place that is loud and full of crowds. But Cancers are also extremely family-oriented — so if you're a Cancer zodiac sign, you'll want to go somewhere family-friendly. And, what's more family-friendly than Orlando, Florida? Head down there to hit up Disney World, Universal Studios, and any other theme park you see fit.

Orlando is also great for you because, while it's not on the ocean, there are plenty of more quiet resorts with beautiful pools and spas.

Italy makes for a wonderful vacation for a Cancer, who loves to find creature comforts wherever they go. The country definitely offers that with lots of great food and pleasant vibes. Head down to Positano on the Amalfi Coast rather than spending time in overcrowded Rome.

In Positano (or Praiano, or Sorrento, or Capri!), you'll be able to enjoy days by the water, some history, delicious food, and sight-seeing. It can be quiet and a little bit more adventurous, depending on what you decide to do while you're there.

Maybe you're a Cancer who also loves to spend a lot of time outdoors. If so, plan a vacation to Lake Tahoe, a lake that straddles the border of California and Nevada, to get your nature fix. There's plenty to do, but it's also quiet and relaxing, — and the nearby Tahoe City on the California side of the border offers a cute town to explore when you're not being outdoors-y.

Lake Tahoe also gives you the chance to explore nature a bit more with opportunities for camping, hiking, boating, and so much more. It's another spot that can be family-friendly or just plain relaxing.

If you want to explore a new city without feeling overwhelmed, head to Amsterdam. It has a much more relaxed feel to it than some other big cities in Europe, and you'll get to do tons of exploring and relaxing all at once.

Amsterdam also has the added benefits of lots of beautiful and sleepy little canals you can enjoy, so you get to hang by the water while also doing some sightseeing. The best of both worlds!

Looking for something much more low-key and relaxed? Cape Cod is a great summer destination. This beach town in Massachusetts really shines during the summer months, when the ocean becomes warm enough to swim in and the town comes alive.

Opt for a rental in a condo or Airbnb right on the beach so that you can fully enjoy your ocean surroundings. And you're in New England, so eat a ton of lobster.

Another beach destination in the U.S. is Clearwater Beach in Florida — it just feels a lot more tropical than something like Cape Cod. Clearwater Beach is great for a Cancer because it merges a more laid-back beach vibe with family-friendly activities.

You get to enjoy white-sand beaches, palm trees, and crystal clear ocean water without leaving the US, which is a plus for many. And sure, it's a little hot, but this is your season, Cancers! You're up for it.

As a Cancer, you don't just love being by the water: you also tend to be very creative, and you can really appreciate the arts. If that sounds like you, then you'll fall in love with Porto, a small city in Portugal on the water that is known for its artsy vibes.

Porto is ideal for exploring without doing anything overwhelming, it's relaxing because you're on the water, and it offers so much to do and see.

Of course, the Caribbean is always going to be a great vacation spot for you, Cancer: it's quiet, it's low-key, it's beautiful, and it's all about the water. It was essentially made for you!

And if you're looking for a super calm trip, you can't do much better than Turks & Caicos. The island offers all the creature comforts and luxuries you could want with stunning beaches, beautiful sunsets, and lots of sun time.

If you'd prefer to travel somewhere far away to really get away from it all, you should think about heading to the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. You can choose one island to settle on or explore various little islands — it doesn't really matter where you go, because everything is breathtakingly beautiful.

This is definitely a big trip for a homebody Cancer, but it's one you'll be able to totally sit back and relax during.

If you're a Cancer located on the West Coast or in California, you don't have to go too far to find a soothing beach paradise for your summer vacation. Beat the crowds in Los Angeles and brave the traffic to head to Malibu, the celebrity-preferred beach spot of California.

There, you can rent a condo or Airbnb that feels like home, eat some great food, and hang by the beach for as long as you want.

Another beautiful island in the Caribbean that is perfect for a Cancer is St. Thomas, part of the U.S. Virgin Islands. St. Thomas is sleepier and more quiet than some other islands in the Caribbean, but obviously still offers incredible beaches and stunning mountain views.

And if you're looking to do more during your trip, you can always take a plane or boat ride to the other U.S. Virgin Islands; St. John and St. Croix.

If you're a Cancer from New York and you want to escape somewhere that isn't far away, Greenport is your answer. Forget the Hamptons or Montauk this summer — both are going to be super crowded and so not quite as quiet and relaxing.

Greenport, located on the North Shore of Long Island offers wonderful beaches and gorgeous sunsets, as well as an adorable town with lots of great restaurants and shopping.

It's going to be hard to find a more relaxing, peaceful vacation than one in Bali. If you're a Cancer looking to get out of your comfort zone without venturing too far away, you'll fully appreciate the beauty and history that can be found on this island.

The atmosphere is very peaceful, and you can split your time between exploring and laying on the beach.
