Canary Islands - Gran Cararia

You will get to experience an adventure and this should certainly be considered as a possible spring break destination. The beaches here, off the coast of Africa, are among the best in the world. This is the only European (Spanish) location that is warm enough to give you the feel of an American spring break, however, it doesn't get as crazy as Cancun, Panama City, or the other sites in the Americas.

Costa Rica

Guarenteed great weather. This will not be a relaxing adventure. You will have to work a bit for this one unless you are fine just hanging out at the beaches. There is a lot of beauty in spring break hotspot that is Costa Rica including waterfalls, hot springs, and jungles. Perfect weather year round!

Panama City Florida

Where is my room? Where are my friends? How did I get here? Oh, I know where I am. I am in Acapulco, Mexico!

Baja California Mexico

Beauty and Beaches. The word beauty is in reference to the beautiful women that make this area their home or just come on travels. Rosarito Beach and Tijuana are definite hotspots that will provide great entertainment. The waves on the beaches are just as incredible as all the other features of the spring break destination.

South Padre Island Texas

Why would we put South Padre Island as the number 2 ranked spring break hotspot? The answer is because there is no place like it within the United States for spring breakers. Sure, the beaches are just average, but who cares because everything looks terrific when you drink a lot. The clubs at South Padre are outstanding, women everywhere, and great southern hospitality. Oh yeah, Mexico's city of Matamoros is right there too.

Cancun Mexico

It has been on the top of this list for many years now. Cancun is the top spring break hot spot several years as the favorite for spring breakers who just love to party, party, party, and get a little sun burnt.

Honorable Mentions

Bermuda

Bermuda has some magnificent large and small beaches. Some great ones are public, meaning that anyone can enjoy them. But some are private, not for general public, only to their guests - re-assuring to those who stay at properties with private beaches. Beach sand is not volcanic but from finely pulverized remains of calcium carbonate shells and skeletons of invertebrates such as corals, clams, forams and other shells. Beaches begin with tiny single-celled animals, Foraminifera, in particular, homotrema rubrum - or forams - dark red skeletal animals that grow profusely on the underside of Bermuda's coral reefs. When the red forms die, the skeletons plummet to the ocean floor. Wave action erodes the forams. They become mixed with other debris on the seabed such as the white shells of clams, snails and sea urchins.

Maui, Hawaii

Ringed by 120 miles of coastline, Maui boasts over 30 miles of beaches. Many are easily accessible beach parks with lifeguards, picnic facilities and restrooms. Others are undeveloped, pristine, "secret spots" off the beaten path.
