Apparently, we are all craving some beach time — and some college football?

That’s Airbnb’s conclusion, anyway. When they parsed their rental stats on who’s going where after Labor Day, the top draws for fall getaways, they said, were football towns in the South and  beachy stays on the West Coast and the Jersey Shore.

Well, sorta. Ocean City, New Jersey, is definitely a beach town. But Southern California’s Santa Ana (No. 4 on the top 10) and La Mesa (No. 5)? Let’s just say, you won’t be strolling out your Airbnb door and onto the sandy strand there, no matter what your Superhost claims. You might as well call San Jose a beachy destination.

The college football towns range from Oxford, Mississippi, home of Ole Miss, to Baton Rouge, where two Louisiana powerhouses play, and Ann Arbor for you followers of the Michigan Wolverines.

Here are Airbnb’s top trending destinations for fall getaways:

1 Ocean City, New Jersey

2 Bella Vista, Arkansas

3 Oxford, Mississippi

4 Santa Ana, California

5 La Mesa, California

6 Baton Rouge, Louisiana

7 Ann Arbor, Michigan

8 Lubbock, Texas

9 Lexington, Kentucky

10 Wheat Ridge, Colorado
