Looking For Somewhere To Go For Spring Break? Here are our Top Five Beach Destinations

By Brad Alexzander

Spring Break is a time when college students let loose and vacation in any one of the many destinations known for its great beaches. Considering the economy, some of the more expensive islands may be out of financial reach.

However, there are five top spots college students can make reservations for now and look forward to several days of sun and sand.

* Ft. Lauderdale has long been one of the most popular destinations for Spring Break. Throughout the past few years Florida has undergone some changes however Ft. Lauderdale still tops the list for affordable Spring Break destinations.

* Acapulco has become as popular as ever with college students. Now there are more Spring Break packages to Acapulco than ever before.

* Unfortunately while Bermuda has always been at the top of the spring break list it is also somewhat pricey. Fortunately nearby Aruba is a wonderful alternative destination with amazing beaches, friendly people, and fantastic weather. One more bonus is that all Aruba hotels are located on the beach, unlike Bermuda.

* The Bahamas is another affordable option and offers reasonably priced accommodations and fabulous beaches.

* Finally, for an all-inclusive package to either "nowhere" or from Florida to the Bahamas, cruises have become highly touted as the best possible vacation venue for most college students.

Safety is also a concern this year, especially in Mexico. Crime has risen in well-known resorts such as Cancun, and it is advised not to travel there this year. Acapulco, however, is the exception.

There is one other destination you may wish to consider: Panama City Beach. It has become a thriving Spring break destination. With beach parties, clubs, and pubs, this is one area college students may opt for as a last "resort."

Any one of these destinations would be a wonderful way to relax and enjoy Spring Break. It is highly recommended that you book early. Either check with your travel agent or utilize the online travel companies.
