If you still want to take a winter vacation, Travel and Leisure Magazine says February is a great time to fly.

Here are some of the best places to travel in the U.S. if you want to get away.

Honolulu, Hawaii

The magazine says it's a big wave season and also a great time for whale watching tours.

Beaver Creek, Colorado

The magazine points out that the town has increased its focus on non-ski activities, which could be perfect for those who love the snow, but not skiing.

Key West, Florida

Along with the clear skies, calm water and sunshine, the magazine says tour guides and hotels are encouraging guests to explore the ecosystems and surrounding islands.

You can also take a dive with the dolphins and sea turtles.

Newport, Rhode Island

Travel and Leisure highlights the "Newport Winter Festival" in mid-February with concerts, beach polo and even a chili cook-off.

Salt Lake City, Utah

The magazine recommends it as a quick trip for sporty travelers who might enjoy the outdoor skating rink in the middle of the city or a stop at Utah Olympic Park.

New Orleans, Louisiana

It's the city's 300th anniversary, which will feature events such as the Chinese Opera and a ballet to celebrate.

Of course, you can't forget about the Mardi Gras celebration happening on Feb. 13.

Manhattan Beach, California

Travel and Leisure lists the waterfront bike path as a great place to escape along with a trek to the downtown strip.
