Great suggestions here.
July is an excellent time to visit the Northeast US.Many interesting and fun towns to visit coastal or inland of Acadia National Park.
The Park and surrounding areas offer small town charm and some of the kindest folks we have ever met.
Exploring offers a wide range: hiking, tide pooling, many lakes for fishing, rock climbing, sandy beach or ocean cliff views, kayaking, sailing, bike rides on carriage roads and amazing scenic drives. History of the area and then there is... Lobster and Maine blueberries.We ate out a few times, we asked locals where to go.
We stayed in Blackwoods Campground, located within the park. Woke early several mornings, took a walk down the path to the seaside cliffs. Enjoyed our coffee watching the sun come up over the ocean.
Acadia National Park was a pleasant surprise, one of our favorite parks. We also enjoyed that you could get away from the crowds.
You'll want to make your decision and reservation soon to these more popular places.
Good luck ~
I second going to Maine, not too hot, plenty of lakes, ocean to swim. Abundant wildlife, a few amusement piers in Old Orchard and south. Up in Millinocket ride up the golden road, go to Baxter state Park. Sorry I'm rambling but Maine is my favorite place to camp.
