Nashville
Nashville is our pick for music lovers. Bear with us – sure there aren’t any beaches to speak of – but not everyone likes to get sand in their shorts. This town hits the mark for the group of friends who like to drink and groove to some of the best music clubs in the country. Don’t forget top quality barbecue and inexpensive flights!
Panama Beach
Panama Beach used to rank at the top of the list year after year for best places to do Spring Break in Florida. But a combination of crime and blight caused the city to take a hiatus for a few years. Panama City is now back – and ready for action. And it’s no wonder – the town is basically a college student’s dream – with beautiful sandy beaches and affordable beach accommodation at every turn.
Cabo San Lucas
Most people heading to Mexico for spring break think of Cancun first. We’d like you to consider Cabo San Lucas, especially if you’re on the west coast where flights are regular and reasonably priced. Cabo has always been a high-end vacation spot for southern California’s beach-lovers. In recent years, the accommodation prices have come down and now they cater to the spring break crowd!
British Virgin Islands
Not everyone has gotten the memo that the British Virgin Islands are back in the tourism business since the devastation of the 2017 hurricane season. But because tourism is still recovering, the hotel and airfare deals are still uncharacteristically good. Hurry – these fares won’t last!
Belize
An adventurous group might want to go a little further afield – and Belize offers nature reserves, caving, and the Green Iguana Preservation Project! It’s not a trip that you’ll spend lounging with your cerveza under an umbrella, but you will love the plethora of outdoor adventure sports.
Los Angeles Beach Cities
The southern California coast is home to some of the most iconic beaches in the world. Why not make this home base for a thrilling spring break adventure? This time of year is probably a bit too cold for swimming, but sunbathing might not be out of the question. And a side trip to Disneyland or Universal Studios is a great backup plan!
Las Vegas
If you are on a tight budget, get your crew to Vegas! Rooms and airfare are always affordable from virtually any gateway in the U.S. and the variety of dining means you can save your cold hard cash for the tables, pool parties and the clubs!
Miami
Miami makes the cut most every year – and why not? Between the South Beach beautiful people and clubs to Little Havana for the more cosmopolitan among your group, Miami knows how to throw one rager of a party! Find the discount hotels off South Beach, or splash out a little if you’ve got the cash.
Tucson
This funky little town nestled in the Sonoran Desert is a fantastic option for hiking and biking adventurers. When you need a rest, you can relax in one of the city’s many microbreweries and take in a concert at the legendary Club Congress. Or check out 4th Street for fantastic vintage shopping and some authentic Mexican cuisine.
Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach remains on our list as the quintessential spring break spot – and the relatively inexpensive airfares this year are an added bonus! You’ll find quaint architecture and relaxing beaches everywhere you look. Myrtle Beach is also quite family-friendly, so if you’re looking for a more hedonistic vibe steer clear.
