Spring Break Destinations

Yes, its that time of year again, spring break….Where young partiers flock to beach destinations all over the globe in search of a rockin’ good time. Here are five hot spots to consider:

Panama City, Florida: One of the favorite hot spots for Spring Breakers. Panama City is home to MTV Spring Break, which brings the benefits of awesome concerts, celebrity sitings, crazy tournaments and huge beach parties. Over 500,000 college students flock to PC each year. As for night life, PC is home to some huge clubs including Club La Vela, which is the largest club in the US and has over 13 different themed rooms to check out.

Nassau, Bahamas: Beautiful beaches and wildlife to explore during the day and excellent night life. During the day, go swim with dolphins or check out the Mayan ruins. At night (or during the day) check out the Mardi Gras party at Cocktails and Dreams, live bands at Club Waterloo, private beach parties at the Blue Lagoon. Or, go gambling’s on nearby Paradise Island.

Cancun, Mexico: One of the hottest spring break spots is Cancun. You are just a ferry ride away from Cozumel or a bus ride away from Playa del Carmen. Go snorkling at Xel-Ha or see the Unba ruins at Tulum. Remember, you will need a passport for this destination.

Acapulco: guess who is also heading to Acapulco this year? That’s right, MTV will be partying there as well which will guarantee a good time and lots of outrageous activities. Also available are the quite beaches of Playa Pie de la Cuesta or quaint villages with unique artistry like the Puerto Marques village. There has been a lot of concern about the safety or tourists but officials have said to stay in the tourist sections and follow safety guidelines and you should not run into any trouble. Again, remember you will need a passport.

Europe: Moving up in the ranks of places to go during Spring Break. Of course the weather is cooler than in the Caribbean so most of the things to do will occur in doors. Hot spots for American’s include Amsterdam, London, Paris, Rome, Florence, Madrid and Berlin. While it will cost a pretty penny to get there, the exhange rate isn’t too bad and a lot of the popular sites are free or inexpensive. Staying at Hostels is one of the most cost effective ways to go and you will be with other students your age.
