3. Negril, Jamaica
If you’re looking for a more laid back Spring Break 2015, consider an island getaway to Jamaica. The hotels around Negril’s Seven Mile Beach are idyllic for sipping rum punch and smoking whatever herbal substances might be offered your way (not that we necessarily advocate that). Strains of reggae and steel pan keep the Caribbean vibe going. It’s not all chillaxing in the sun, though. Jamaica knows how to party, and there are enough thatched beach bars, waterfront restaurants and pulsing nightlife venues to keep you rocking, not to mention cool waterfalls, cliff dives, river rafting, kayaking and other water sport activities to fill your days. Choose as little or as much action as you desire. Should we even mention the clothing optional beaches?
4. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Looking for an island escape from the dorm with a more official party scene? Punta Cana on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic has garnered a glowing reputation as a top Spring Break destination in recent years. It’s a relatively quick and inexpensive getaway with lots of all-inclusive or semi-inclusive packages to entice the value-conscious co-ed crowd. You’ll enjoy warm weather, some Latin-Caribbean flair, lots of swim-up pool bars, bopping beach parties, and all the ice-breaking games and wacky contests that you could ask for.
