The second semester blues tend to hit college students pretty hard, and the only solution is a mid-semester getaway to a hot spring break destination. The "it" spot for spring break seems to change year after year, so it can be hard for students to decide where they're going to venture to. The most important things to keep in mind when searching for the ultimate spring break destination are the price and atmosphere. Whether you are into the "typical" college spring break—aka beer bongs and beaches—or a more relaxing getaway, the list I've compiled below of spring break destinations will be sure to fit your needs.
1. South Padre Island, Texas
South Padre is the "it" spot this year for spring break, and you will definitely get that "typical" college spring break experience there. South Padre offers 34 miles of natural seashore to explore during the day and plenty of clubs and bars to explore at night. There are plenty of deals out there for college students, so you can grab a big group of friends and plan out your vacation for cheap prices.
2. Los Cabos, Mexico
When college students think about trips to Mexico, they generally flock to Cancun. However, Cabo is the perfect spot for spring break with its gorgeous views and lively bar scene. Let's not forget that this is Mexico, and the drinking age is 18 so of course that's a plus!
3. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Myrtle Beach is the perfect getaway to provide you with relaxation and serenity. With over 60 miles of beachfront on the Atlantic Ocean, you will have no problem finding a spot to set up camp for the week and take in the amazing views. Myrtle Beach also offers a waterpark, fishing charters, the famous "sky wheel," scuba diving, and much more.
4. Aspen, Colorado
Aspen provides an alternative to the tropical spring break vacation by taking you to the snowy mountains. Whether you're into skiing, snowboarding, or just relaxing by the fire with a warm cup of hot cocoa, Aspen is the perfect getaway.
5. Inception At Sea Cruise
This cruise sets out of Miami, Florida and is the first ever fully-charted spring break cruise. There are all-inclusive accommodations available that would offer you open bar throughout the whole ship, plenty of restaurants to choose from, and on-shore events in the Bahamas. The cruise will also be offering a full lineup of performers for live concerts including The Chainsmokers, Tyga, Bassjackers, and many more.
