Top 5 Spring Break Destinations
With March in full swing, we’re getting mega excited for Spring Break– the hottest, most debauchery-filled holidays (holi-weeks?) of the year. Unlike the recently-passed Mardi Gras, you’re less likely to face an onslaught of old-lady-gone-wild fun bags in your face, because Spring Break is much more a college/young-adult geared holiday, which we couldn’t be more grateful for. So where to go this Spring Break? Here are a few time-tested ideas from the OBC crew:
1) Cancun, Mexico
The omnipotent ruler of Spring Break destinations is in Cancun, Mexico. The hottest college kids will be tanned and toned and ready to party!
Downside: Thanks to us American travelers, prices are comparable to a stateside Spring Break, unlike some lesser known Mexican destinations.
2) Cozumel, Mexico
If you’re looking for a more relaxed, less hardcore Spring Break, Cozumel is a great alternative to its raunchier Mexican counterparts. With gorgeous Caribbean beaches and great snorkeling sites, Cozumel is likely to make you consider never going home again.
Downside: You want a “less hardcore” Spring Break? Uh, ok. Bo-ring.
3) The Bahamas
Probably the most beautiful place on our list, it has been scientifically proven that you can not be unhappy while vacationing in The Bahamas (don’t quote me on that). Awesome nightlife, enough casinos to bankrupt you, and pristine beaches on which to sleep off your hangover? What more could you ask for?
Downside: There may still be some underlying tension from local Bahamanians thanks to that pesky Fyre Festival.
4) Ft. Lauderdale
The OG of Spring Break destinations, Ft. Lauderdale started the tradition of Spring Break being notorious for “binge drinking, recreational drug use, and casual sex.” So if you want to be a part of party history, hop a flight to Florida and get the party started.
Downside: It’s Fort Lauderdale.
5) Lake Havasu, AZ
I know what you’re thinking. Why would I want to spend Spring Break in Arizona?! I’ll tell you why. Lake Havasu. Boats. Half naked women. Beer. What else could you possibly want for your Spring Break?
Downside: Don’t get too drunk or you’ll either get arrested by the “Party Police” or fall off a boat and get ripped to shreds by your boat’s propeller.
Don’t got the dough to travel this Spring Break? No worries, you can still have a magical time at home, by browsing, chatting with, meeting and getting lucky with local OBC members… all for pennies a day.
