With the countdown at just a little over four weeks until spring break, many students are getting the itch to kick up their feet and relax in the sun.
Many websites, including Askmen.com, Vacationhomes.com, and Travel.discovery.com, have compiled lists of their top ten spring break hot spots. These sites listed many of the same spring break destinations, but the Travel Channel seemed to assemble the best top ten college list. According to the Travel Channel, here are a few destinations that have, and always will be, the ultimate college spring break hot spots.
10. The Bahamas. Tropical weather, clear blue water, and sugary sand make this spring break hot spot a highly desirable destination. Coconut and other fruity drinks are popular and can be brought to you as you bathe in the sun and dig your feet in the sand.
9.Rosarito Beach/Ensenada, California. This location is for the more mature spring breaker, offering both fun and relaxation on gorgeous beaches. One downside to this hot spot is the rough waters along the coast, but this doesn't deter spring breakers as they find other activities to keep them busy. One popular activity is horseback riding.
8. Key West, Florida, also known as Jimmy Buffet's original Margarita-ville. Key West is a great place to go if you're looking for more cultural and sexual diversity. Scuba diving is also said to be an incredible experience in the Keys.
7. Daytona Beach, Florida.If you're looking for a place where you can drive your car up to where the ocean meets the land, then Daytona Beach, Fla., is your getaway. While Daytona Beach isn't necessarily a luxury destination, it still attracts quite the party-going crowd, which could be due to the fact that accommodations are relatively affordable and it can be reached by car.
6. Mazatlan, Mexico. The translation of this city's name, "the land of party," speaks for itself. Mazatlan is known for its bullfighting, which is something to see when you'd prefer to take in the scenery of something other than the pristine beaches.
