Spring break is a highly anticipated time of the year for many teachers and students, offering a much-needed escape from the demands of school and work. This year Carolina Forest High School’s spring break is April 18 through the 25.
According to “travel.us.news.com,” the top five spring break destinations are Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Miami Beach, Key West, and Siesta Key. All these places have an unlimited amount of activities to do while visiting for all ages. Let’s dive deeper into these incredible places.
The first stop is Cancun, Mexico. The best time to visit is during April and May or November and early December. The top three activities to do are swimming with dolphins, riding ATVs and hiking, and taking a clear boat tour of the Caribbean Sea. If none of these are a interest to you, you can still relax on the beach and listen to the ocean sounds while getting some sun. According to “tripadvisor.com,” the top two restaurants are Navious Mexican Fusion Seafood and Mochomos Cancun.
Next is Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The best time to visit is May and June or October and November. The top must things to do include whale watching as well as swimming with sharks, boat cruises, and outdoor adventures including ATV’s, including ziplining, and riding camels. They also have a luxurious beach. Cabo has two restaurants that are must visits. Metate Cabo and Los Tres Gallo.
Many people from Carolina Forest High School travel outside the United States for spring break.
Danica Leonard, a junior, stated, “This year I am going on a cruise to the Bahamas and Labadee, Haiti.”
In the U.S., Florida is a popular state for spring break.
Grace Thomas, a freshman, commented, “I’m going to Orlando, Florida to visit Universal Studios and Disney World.”
While in Miami Beach, it’s possible to walk the boardwalk and explore historic buildings and towns, eat and shop, and explore the Everglades. Of course, there are plenty of beach access where you can just relax in the sun. Many people recommended going to CRAFT Midtown and Marabu Restaurant for some tasty food.
Key West top activities include a sunset cruise that includes jet skies, snorkeling, and parasailing. Enjoy a nice walk and explore the historic town while shopping. You can explore all the different beaches they offer. When in Key West, you should try Kaya Island Eats and The Lobster Shack to fulfill any hunger.
And the last stop is Siesta Key, Fla. The best time to visit is April to May or September to October. They offer a private luxury boat charter, ride electric bikes on the beach, watching the sunsets, and walk around their farmers market. They have many beach accesses as well. After either a thrilling day or a day full of relaxation, when you get hungry you should try The Cottage and Big Water Fish Market.
However, don’t worry if you aren’t going far. There are still many things to do locally in Myrtle Beach. It’s has much more than just the beach. Many come here to golf. According to “tripadvisor.com,” the top three activities to do include a Polynesian Fire Luau and Dinner Show, Ripley’s attractions, and Broadway at the Beach. The top most visited restaurants are Sea Captain’s House and Bimini’s Oyster Bar and Seafood Cafe. I personally really like Sea Captain’s House. Their hushpuppies with butter are to die for.
Whether it’s a beach getaway, a trip to see family, or simply a break from the daily routine, spring break provides an opportunity to recharge and enjoy some time off.
