Going to a gorgeous white sand beach and sipping ice-cold tropical beverages during spring break is a tradition that grows and grows every year. For some it means exploring a new country, complete with outdoor activities and trips to cultural centers, while for many others it would not be spring break without a resort town with relaxed public drinking laws and plenty of members of the opposite sex. And while there is no reason to expect that all vacationers have their sites set on a vodka bar and a great tan, this week is still the number one time to meet new people and revel in a nonstop party in some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

What makes a spring break vacation such a great idea is that most of the most famous destinations offer great values for travel and hotels - if you book your trip well in advance. Booking your trip with Carefree Travel and Cruises will ensure that you aren't one of the many partygoers who wait too late to plan and have to pay too much to enjoy the warm sand and coconut drinks of a tropical spring break.

Many people go on a spring break vacation hoping to do nothing more that soak up some sun and meet some fun people, and end up coming back with lifelong memories of the country that they visit, and the hotel where they will probably spend most of their time poolside. Spring break hotels offer some of the highest quality services in the countries that house them. Swimming pool will often be for much more than swimming, with man made waterfalls and rivers, and underwater bars that are often extravagant enough to make travelers think twice about even going down to the beach.

But the beach is the reason that most of the resorts are where they are, and for good reason. With smooth white and light brown sand, crystal clear blue and green waters, boat tours to islands, and palm trees offering shade, the beaches at spring break destinations are often classed as blue ribbon winners - the best in the world.

And let's not forget about the more earthly pleasures that a spring break vacation can offer. Bathing suits often leave little to the imagination, and people-watching on spring break beaches borders on a sport. With tanned, nubile bodies in all directions, and some beaches offering partial or complete nudity, the whole spring break population is soon ready to go to the bar and get closer to some of the friends they made on the beach, and to an ice-cold pina colada.

And while sex on the beach is still illegal on most waterfronts, drinking a Sex on the Beach - 2 parts peach schnapps, one part vodka, fill with orange and cranberry juices - at the bar is very legal, and even encouraged. Many people traveling abroad, especially from the United States, are under 21 and have never experienced liberal, cheap, and completely legal drinking before. This encourages some overindulgence, but mostly just fuels this 24-hour party.

Spring Break Destinations

Although auspiciously based around Easter time, Spring Break has become a secularized holiday that concentrates on letting young people from all around the world get together for one giant party. It doesn't hurt that the most popular destinations also happen to be some of the most beautiful.

Many destinations in the US are favored, especially near the Gulf of Mexico. Ft. Lauderdale is still a big draw, but Mexico clearly pulls in the bulk of the spring break tourists, and with good reason. Cities like Cancun and Acapulco have been specifically laid out for this yearly invasion. Cancun especially draws the big crowds, with megaresorts housing thousands of young people and clubs, cantinas and drinking on the beach amping up the volume on the nonstop fiesta.

Hawaii has always drawn its share of tourists during spring break, with its beautiful beaches and clear water competing with more sightseeing activities than you can shake a palm frond at. The Caribbean offers a tropical paradise with plenty of music and rhythm to keep the dancing going all night. But no matter where you go you are guaranteed to enjoy yourself and meet some like-minded people while you are at it.
