Best Spring Break Destinations




 
 

South Padre Island

If you’re looking for nonstop beach and pool parties, concerts, budget-friendly lodging and celebrity-hosted events, South Padre Island is for you. While this Texas resort town is a popular family-friendly vacation spot for the rest of the year, South Padre Island welcomes college coeds in droves during the month of March. Keep in mind, the beach becomes quite crowded, so this Texas retreat is best for people looking to party rather than relax.

 

Cabo San Lucas

Located on the southern tip of Baja California, this Mexican beach destination boasts stunning golden sands, turquoise waters and a reputation for uninhibited nightlife. Coeds can spend their days soaking up some sun and splashing around at Playa del Amor or Playa El Médano before dancing the night away at popular haunts like Cabo Wabo Cantina. The area’s all-inclusive options and traditional hotels are also packed with amenities, ranging from incredible pools to fun bars to restaurants serving tasty cuisine.
