I am single in my 40s and would like to take a few days off over the summer/fall to go somewhere and relax. I don't mind staying somewhere where there are couples and families. But I would like it to NOT be a place where the couples/families are overwhelming in numbers and where there might be some number of other singles around.

Places I like are Cape Cod, Newport, California. Places I would also consider are NC, SC ... but certainly am open to suggestions. I also like golf and might consider using this to take some golf lessons (or maybe rekindling my interest in tennis).

Can anyone make any suggestions?

How about a Club Med Vacation - I know they kind of have a reputation for young party crowd- but I have been to the one in Cancun and it appeared there were older singles around ( I was married at the time so didnt pay a lot of attention to the single scene)
Instruction in many sports is part of the package- may have one that specializes in tennis?

Somewhere in the Caribbean maybe? I would suggest Hawaii or Mexico but am guessing you are located back east US? which would make for too long a plane ride for just a few days.

Fly into Jacksonville, FL (amelia island, ponte vedra, st augustine). A TON of great golf courses + World Golf Village w/ the hall of fame. Nice beaches, weather in the fall, and prob a good fare on SWA? I love JAX I miss it sometimes.

I live on Cape Cod so I know you would like to visit here .However i spent three monthes on the puerto rican island of vieques .It was a blast and great for singles wich i was i can send ya some links if youre interested good luck cheriberry

Oops I see in your other posting you only want destinations within the US.

Actually, I'll take destinations outside the US also ... for the future. I've had a lot of trouble finding singles tours/trips that cater to 30s-40s. I figure Carribean/Mexico (maybe Club Med Cancun) in the fall or winter. Any other resorts come to mind?

Windjammer Cruises also have singles trips - dont think there would be much
golf or tennis though.

The Hyatt Dorado is a place in Puerto Rico that the guys I used to work with went to golf,gamble and hang out. I do believe it is more family oriented now though. Puerto Rico is still a fun place to go.
Kiawah Island SC is a big golf resort and has Charleston, the city right nearby.
Hilton Head was a big golf and tennis resort when we went, but it is also geared toward families.
There is also Myrtle Beach which I believe has golf and I have heard lots to do!
GoTravel, if you are out there, you are the Carolina Connection and would be able to tell more about the resorts I mentioned.
I think if you visit an area that is a resort but also near or in a big city area, there will be much more for you to do and singles as well.

you might want to consider tucson or palm springs. sedona az, block island, bermuda, hilton head

Well I never go on tours or stay at resorts, but do travel solo quite often. I have had great trips to both Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and Honolulu, Hawaii on many many occasions.

The first two U.S. cities that came to mind were Kailua-Kona HI and Key West FL. But when I need or want to travel alone I usually try and go outside the U.S. Especially Europe, I've found people there to be wonderfully friendly, and they don't look at single travelers -- especially single male travelers -- with the same suspicion as one sometimes finds in the U.S. (That comment isn't intended to offend anyone, it's just been my experience the past 25 years.)
