MAIN Arrow to Travel Travel Arrow to Travel Destination Guides Destinations Arrow to Travel Destinations - Top Picks Popular Arrow to Spring Break Spring Break

Spring BreakWhich hot spots are popular U.S. spring break destinations?

If last year was any indication, South Padre Island, Texas and Lake Havasu, and Scottsdale, Arizona continue to top the list of favorites.

However, even more popular spring break locations lured students further south as Acapulco, Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, and Rosarito in Mexico continued to be the overall top exotic getaways for spring breakers. Students also zeroed in on Negril, Jamaica for the ultimate in island fun.


Spring Break Travel Tips

• Do you have a passport? If so, make sure it's still valid for the dates you'll be traveling.

• With heightened travel security precautions in place, be sure to call ahead to find out the latest airport restrictions on what you may or may not include in carry-on baggage.

• Chill. Avoid hassles with travel security or service staff who may view any type of "suspicious" behavior as a security threat.

• Because you're an American partying in Mexico doesn't mean local authorities won't arrest you for drunken or disorderly conduct.

Calling mom from a foreign jail (or from a hospital following a stomach pump) just isn't cool.

At least for a week or two ...

The height of spring break is usually from mid-March to mid-April.

With students short on time and money, travel companies offer affordable spring break packages. They typically feature week-long exursions ranging anywhere from $500 to $1500 and include airfare, hotel, meals and transfers.

For the college crowd, spring break "party packages" with hosted party nights and open bars are available at an additional cost.

Alternative spring break

For those who want to opt out of the wild party scene, schools are also presenting spring break alternatives. These usually offer active participation on trips to aid the disadvantaged or to help clean up the environment.

New Orleans benefited from these programs when college students traveled to the devasted city to offer a helping hand in clean up operations following Hurricane Katrina.

Spring break around the world

However, most teens and young adults will almost universally celebrate a break from school with binge drinking and wild partying.

Down Under, locals can set their clocks by the arrival of thousands of students in mid-November participating in Schoolies Week, drawn to the nightlife of Sydney or around the spectacular Australian beaches of the Gold and Sun Coast.

Also count on seeing UK students in equally large numbers traveling to the sunny beaches of Spain to celebrate school's end.
