With America’s spring break currently falling under nationwide travel restrictions, it might feel like there’s little you can do to escape the weekly grind and enjoy a sun-splashed vacation. However, there are still options that can get you some R&R in California, especially with the stay-at-home order and regional travel bans partially lifted, if not completely. Whilst many tourist attractions will have modified hours of business, with some services remaining closed, there are still many options that will let you enjoy the diverse landscapes, history and attractions of the state.
Many hotels are booking guests again as well, even offering spring break deals on room prices as exemplified by the Good Nite Inn booking coupons. This means that it’s easier than it ever was in 2020 to find a bed to rest your head during a trip.
