Spring break is expected to bring over 158 million travelers on the road and in the air. Roughly one in three adults in the U.S. will travel for the week-long escape, and all too many ends up in the same congested areas. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing, and personal experience for your sacred vacation days instead, make sure you avoid these nine tourist traps for spring break.
Disney World
Do you want to be squished between screaming, sweaty children and their nervous parents, stand in lines under the hot sun for hours, and pay $10 for a Coca-Cola? Then head to Disney this spring break during peak season!
Cancun, Mexico
Cancun has long been one of the top destinations for college party-goers during spring break. During this time, Mexico’s pristine beaches turn into overcrowded booze zones full of yelling, belligerency, and chaos.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
The U.S version of Cancun spring break is Fort Lauderdale, but you also add the headache of traffic and potential DUI accidents.
Nassau, Bahamas
Nassau is a wonderful place to visit for an authentic cultural experience, but spring break leads to crowds and queues instead of the former.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
The small town of Myrtle Beach attracts over 20 million tourists annually, with a large portion of college students heading down during the infamous week of Saint Patrick’s Day.
Miami, Florida
Miami has become a general tourist hotspot over the years, but spring break is a different animal. Get ready to pay inflated prices for food and beverages plus very hefty club and entertainment fees.
Las Vegas, Nevada
Las Vegas has always been party central, so you may still want to head there if that’s what you’re looking for this March. If you prefer to gamble, explore, and vacation with a little more privacy, though, what happens in Vegas during spring break may leak out into the real world.
Breckenridge, Colorado
Those looking to score an end-of-the-season ski or snowboard trip head to Breckenridge, but you will get more bang for your buck and room to shred powder in places like Lake Tahoe or by exploring Canadian mountain resorts.
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
While not as sought after as Cancun for spring break, the Dominican comes in second for Caribbean destinations that week. Everything from flights to drinks will come at a hefty price tag – with extra noise included.
