Top 5 spring break destinations for students who love to travel

After a cold winter, you are probably eager to get away and spend time with your friends in the sun. While there are many options for fantastic vacations, some places are preferable to other locations for college students who want to go away for spring break. 

Spring break is typically a week-long break that provides students with numerous opportunities. Some are capable of going back to visit their families. Some prefer to spend it catching up on schoolwork they did not finish before the break.

For many, it tends to mean travelling to different places, letting them wind down from stress by taking a memorable trip. Their places are mostly focused on nightclubs or beach resorts. So, here is a list of the top 5 spring break destinations for university students.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Punta Cana, located on the Dominican Republic’s easternmost tip, is best known for its resorts and sandy white beaches. This is a low-cost destination where you won’t have to skip having fun, entertainment, the weather, or the views. It’s a popular destination for college spring breakers, with days packed with pool and beach parties, casino games, discos, and spring break concerts. If relaxing in the sun is your style, head down to one of the many beautiful beaches. For a stay, you also opt to stay in shared student housing along with your friends.

  • Punta Cana’s most impressive stretch of beach is Bavaro Beach, where you can sift into the ocean or spend hours strolling along the sand. The beach is lined with resorts that provide quick access to all activities. This is not a location to go for peace and quiet.
  • Boats, parasailers, and sightseeing tour boats are constantly coming and going on the ocean. Swimming is safer in roped-off areas. Inland from the beach, there are a few restaurants and shops, most of which are very contemporary, especially by Dominican Republic standards.

Austin, Texas

From modern bars to eclectic music and a thriving nightlife, Austin offers something for everybody. You can go the traditional country path and check out a country music bar for country dancing or hit 6th Street or Rainey Street, two of the city’s hottest bar scenes. Rainey Street is home to various cocktail lounges, live music venues, and wine bars, all set in an old residential street with outdoor patios ideal for relaxing and socialising. You can opt to stay in Austin student housing with your friends. 

New York City

Despite the lack of sandy beaches, New York City is a popular spring break destination. It is brimming with open-air activities that will help you make the most of your vacation. It also provides alternative landscapes if you want to escape the proper city environment.

Although New York City can be expensive, you can plan your trip to stay within your budget. Select hostels with lower nightly rates. Instead of taxis, consider taking the subway. You also opt for New York City student housing.  

As students, you will have free access to iconic locations like:

  • Central Park
  • Times Square
  • The 9/11 Memorial are included.
  • The American Museum of Natural History.
  • The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
  • The Whitney Museum.

Miami, Florida

Miami is a historical, cultural, and architecturally significant city. The glamorous South Beach area, with its high-profile eateries, indie fashion stores, and thriving nightlife, attracts the majority of college spring breakers. However, college students frequently venture out to enjoy Magic City’s nightlife.

Nearby universities include the University of Miami and Florida International University. There’s also a Wynwood Arts District to explore if you’re into art. Don’t miss Wynwood Walls, Miami’s first street art museum, with sprawling hand-sprayed wall paintings, street art galleries, and retail shops.

If you like beaches, you are in luck with a trip to Miami Beach. This ideal spring break attraction provides you with the best mix of cultures and people. Some areas are family-friendly when daylight but transform into super-chic metropolitan areas at night. The majority of college students relax outside in the sun. They like the beach, wild parties, music, food, art, and cocktails.

Daytona Beach, Florida

The main city on Florida’s Fun Coast is Daytona Beach. Daytona beaches are also ideal for motorsports, which are popular in this spring break destination due to the hard-packed sand. Sixteen of the beaches’ 23 miles are dedicated to motorsports, such as the Daytona Beach Road Course. There are also 20 waterparks on the waterfront and free double-decker buses that start taking spring breakers from restaurants and bars to the beach. However, even if you do not take one of these buses, most attractions in Daytona are all within walking distance.

Between March and May, Daytona Beach is the place to be to avoid crowds during the Speedweeks. Although it is a party town, alcohol and glass bottles are prohibited on the beach.
