Top 10: Spring Break Locations 2013

Exert from AskMen –

10. Key West

It’s funny because Key West practically makes any party list. I have visited the area often and quite frankly, I’m under the impression that spring break takes place 52 weeks of the year over there. Of course, Key West offers revelers far more than boozing and bathing along the waterfront, but who goes there for anything other than breasts and booze?

9. Dominican Republic

The Dominican is also growing as a favorite amongst spring breakers. In fact, unlike other spots, Dominican offers some fairly reasonably priced accommodations — even for late planners. It’s a great party spot, but is nowhere as debauchery-laden as Daytona, South Padre or Cancun for that matter. Regardless, it will provide for a nice break from exam madness.

8. New England

Not everyone is fortunate enough to head south for the break, and many even wish to stay in fairly snowy and cold weather (yeah right, it’s called dissonance). Nonetheless, some of the best spring breaks I have had were spent skiing up north. There’s nothing like snowboarding all day, and then coming into the cabin for some soup, beer and crackers. The drinking just continues until you realize that you must be up in an hour or so. While hotel rooms are plentiful, your best bet for a memorable time is to rent a cabin with a small group and just let loose.

7. South Beach

Admittedly, South Beach is more about martinis than beer. But with its star-filled tourists, a good time is in the cards. This is almost the best spot for a couple, as wet T-shirt dances are rare. South Beach will also allow for some rest and relaxation despite partying hardy, whereas most of the other destinations provide for raw decadence. But at South Beach, you can lie in the sun peacefully, drink in hand, of course, and work on your tan until the sun sets and you hit the beach for some sand dancing.

6. New York City

Admittedly, most spring break tourists are not 21 yet, so many of the Big Apple’s offerings may be off the menu for you, but regardless, NYC has so much to offer in sights, restaurants, museums (and yes, bars and clubs that under-age kids can get into) that you should have no problem having a memorable time. And you’ll wish to return once you are of age to really experience NYC’s nightlife.

5. New Orleans

Perfect timing, now that all of the insane have left the Big Easy after Mardi Gras. Gather some friends and head down south on a collision course with the headquarters of hedonism. From the obvious adventures on Bourbon Street to the tropical environment of charming Louisiana, New Orleans is a safe bet for any group of reckless and party-hungry teenagers.

4. South Padre

Somewhere between Texas and Mexico, you will find over 150,000 sun-seekers sprawled over 34 miles of beach area. South Padre is a popular spring break destination partially because the border town of Matamoros is only a half-hour away and the drinking age cannot even be spotted on the horizon. Between endless body shots, bikini contests and bungee jumps, South Padre offers “anything goes” partying in the Texan sun.

3. Panama City, Florida West Coast

If you have no taste for loudness, drunks, and in-your face debauchery, then book another destination because a trip to Panama City will ensure that you lose your spot in heaven. This beer-soaked party combines all of the worst nightmares that your mother has had over the years. It may not be South Padre’s 34 miles, but with 27 miles of sand, bikini babes, and 80,000 square feet of nightclub space, you will be glad to be amongst the 500,000 people that partake in raunchy sex simulation (as opposed to tasteful sex simulation?).

2. Cancun

If Mexico’s Acapulco is perfect for couples and singles alike, then Cancun is the country’s answer to Daytona Beach. Cancun offers dwellers a cheap and affordable excursion with a more student-friendly drinking age and currency factor. The nightclubs are great, the beaches are second to none and the locals will not be able to tell whether your Spanish is off or simply drunk and stuttering.

1. Daytona Beach

Once the leader amongst spring break destinations, Daytona Beach is one of the most inexpensive choices for students. Daytona has so much to offer its visitors, and is in an experience unlike any other: a sure-fire way to break up any couple. Perhaps no other spot is as synonymous with spring break.
