Let's face it — no one likes to be sniffling, sneezing or coughing during their relaxing vacation. While you can do everything you can to avoid illness, such as upping your vitamin C intake, getting a healthy amount of rest and staying physically active, another type of sickness is harder to avoid. Allergies, particularly seasonal allergies, come every year for some individuals, typically around springtime. Even if you don't usually experience symptoms, switching up your location can often lead to these reactions if your body is not used to the change in air. 

Escape the Inland and Head for the Coast
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, certain cities across the U.S. are worse to visit for allergy sufferers, so if you are planning upcoming getaways somewhere in the country, you'll want to make sure you avoid these pollen-crazed locales and stick with the best destinations for a happy and healthy tropical vacation.

If you're living somewhere where the pollen levels are at an all-time high, such as certain cities in Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi, consider heading to another southern locale in the U.S., like Florida, where your only worries will be which beach to choose, and not which allergy medication to take.

Florida's Allergy-Free Beaches
The Sunshine State is abound with dazzling beaches, but some of the greatest ones to visit are also the least known. Delray Beach in South Florida is sandwiched between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, and its stretch of shoreline boasts a number of dunes and arches of sea grapes that seem to protect each beach. You'll find a number of gorgeous luxury rentals in the surrounding area only minutes away from the town itself, which adds a cultural edge to the vacation spot. Sidewalk bistros, stylish boutiques and hip nightlife spots make this destination ideal for those who are seeking more than just a sunny beach town. 

If you do hit up this Florida hotspot and find yourself the perfect villa rental, be sure to visit Cabana el Rey for some seriously good mojitos. According to the Travel Channel, it's not exactly accurate to call the cuisine Cuban, and staff members will swiftly tell you that it's "Nuevo Latino," featuring tapas, fresh seafood dishes and of course, tantalizing cocktails that are perfect for sipping by the beach.
