In honor of Spring Break this week, I'm listing my top 5 Spring Break locations for college students that are looking to get away, have some fun, or, like me, get out of the cold!
1. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Cabo has been a popular spring break destination for years and will most likely continue to be a great spot for the foreseeable future. Cabo has beautiful beaches, warm weather, and plenty of amenities such as golf, restaurants, and bars.
2. Tampa, Florida
Tampa is a somewhat overlooked spring break destination but is actually quite popular. Tampa has plenty to offer including miles of beaches, golf courses, and one of America's best amusement parks, Busch Gardens. Tampa is also great for people that are not looking to spend a lot of money and is one of the cheapest spring break destinations.
3. South Padre Island, Texas
Similar to Tampa, South Padre is quite affordable for everyone. I am actually going here for spring break this year and was happy I didn't have to break the bank to do it. South Padre also hosts large concert events throughout the week with a number of artists. Warm temperatures and plenty of water activities such as kite boarding and sailing are also what make South Padre a great destination.
4. New Orleans, Louisiana
In the theme of picking different states for each destination, New Orleans is another great spot. New Orleans offers great nightlife and food as well as beautiful buildings and scenery. Only possible downside is not being located right on a beach but from the Gulf of Mexico is not far away! A bit on the pricier end as far as spring break goes but should be well worth your money.
5. Los Angeles, California
For those on the west coast, or people on the east coast really looking to get away, L.A. is an obvious choice. L.A. offers warm temperatures year-round and the ocean is only about 15 miles away. With several large colleges in the area and beautiful scenery, L.A. typically gets a pretty large spring break crows.
Honorable Mentions
Panama City Beach, Florida
PCB, like Cabo and South Padre, has been a popular spring break spot for many years. PCB offers many high quality restaurants and bars, concert performances, and an amusement park. Definitely a good choice for anyone.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
For those looking for a more relaxing spring break, Myrtle Beach is a great choice. Myrtle Beach does offer great nightlife as well as parties and concerts on the beach but is more subtle than other places and doesn't attract as large of a crowd.
I hope everyone going on a spring break trip stays safe, keeps warm, and, above all else, enjoys themselves! Thank You.
