Condé Nast Traveler, US News, and Traveler + Leisure have shared some of their top picks for spring break destinations, featuring stunning coastlines and scenic retreats. Read on to see the complete list.

1. Texas Hill Country

If you are wondering where to go for spring break, look no further than Texas Hill Country. This area offers a peaceful yet exciting atmosphere, perfect for a break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Indulge in the astonishing spectacle of the region’s bluebonnet fields as they are awash with a vibrant display of blue, yellow, and red as spring arrives. For a more memorable spring break in the Texas Hill Country, visit the Ennis area for a festival celebrating the bloom.

2. Cancún, Mexico

Cancún beckons travelers with its stunning white-sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. In addition to its unparalleled seascape, abundant resorts in Cancún come with wallet-friendly packages that cover drinks, meals, and entertainment, making it a great option for a budget spring break destination.

3. Miami, Florida

Miami is always a top contender for a coastal getaway. South Beach is the place to be for sunbathing, whereas North Beach caters to families looking for affordable accommodations. Make the most of your time in Miami by joining the Miami Beach Pride and Ultra Music Festival in March or April.

4. San Diego, California

For families planning a spring break trip, San Diego is an attractive destination with a number of wonderful parks, museums, and kids’ attractions. Get ready for a splash at LEGOLAND Water Park. Take the kids to the Sand Diego Zoo to learn about a variety of animal species.

San Diego’s coastline also makes a great seaside retreat. Its Coronado Beach is a popular spot for paddleboarding, while La Jolla Shores is the place to see sunbathing seals and sea lions.

5. Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a dream destination for a tropical escape without leaving the U.S. A visit to Cueva Ventana allows you to reconnect with nature and immerse in the lush surroundings. Partake in Circo Fest, typically held on March 6 to 16, and witness how the streets of Old San Juan transform into a festive wonderland.

6. Costa Rica

You cannot go wrong with Costa Rica when it comes to thrilling experiences. Blessed with lush rainforests, towering mountains, and ocean-facing coasts, this Central American country entices adventure-seekers with its natural beauty.

While you can take in the panoramic landscape from one of its mountains, embark on Tico’s River Adventures and raft along the Pacuare River to admire Costa Rica’s charm from another vantage point.

7. Key West, Florida

Key West is a must-visit for a laid-back yet fun-filled seashore escape. The beach town is renowned for its vibrant nightlife and stunning sunsets, especially at Mallory Square.

You have the choice of snorkeling all day at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park, touring the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum, or partying the night away at a Duval Street bar.

8. Alabama's Gulf Coast

Alabama’s Gulf Coast is one of the best places to go for spring break, with plenty of family-friendly attractions. Take your family on a picnic at one of Gulf State Park’s beach pavilions.

For other exciting outdoor activities, you can rent a kayak and paddle around Lake Shelby’s day-use area.

9. New York City

Not all springbreakers want a beach. For those who prefer a vibrant cityscape, New York City promises a year-round fun experience. The Big Apple has it all: intriguing museums, historical landmarks, and top-notch restaurants that will pamper all kinds of foodies.

10. Vancouver Island, Canada

Rounding off our list of the best spring break destinations is Vancouver Island in Canada. Tourists flock to this scenic retreat to take in the serene atmosphere surrounding the area.

If you head to the west coast of British Columbia, you can find one of UNESCO's biosphere regions, the Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Reserve. This place offers you the opportunity to get in touch with nature through a variety of activities, including hiking and wildlife viewing.
