Most popular Caribbean Spring Break Destinations
- Jamaica: The night life is “turned up” in Negril and Montego Bay, both popular places for spring breakers. Jumping off the cliffs near Rick’s Cafe in Negril is almost a rite of passage. Another reason why Jamaica is so popular with the college-age crowd is because it’s easily accessible and affordable.
- Cancún: There’s always something going on in this wild party city in Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Big-name celebrities often perform shows at famous clubs like Coco Bongo. Beaches like Playa del Delfines sit right on the hotel strip.
- Puerto Rico: This US territory has long been a favorite with spring breakers because it’s easily accessible for US citizens. At the moment, they only need a valid driver’s license in order to visit. Famous Spanish forts like El Morro bring tourists to San Juan, a charming colonial-style city with cobblestone streets. Famous beaches like Flamenco beach on the tiny island of Culebra offer a perfect getaway from it all.
Most Luxurious Caribbean Spring Break Destinations
