As we look forward to the weather warming up, spring break destinations are front and center. But where can travelers go where the streets and sights to see aren’t overcrowded with tourists?
We’ve rounded up a list of under-the-radar spring break destinations that should definitely be on your travel wish list.
Todos Santos, Baja California
Santa Fe, New Mexico
You can ski if you want to, but that’s where the crowds are (snow permitting). There’s plenty else to keep you engaged in Santa Fe, not the least of which is Meow Wolf, a giant art installation that bills itself as “a combination of jungle gym, haunted house, children’s museum, and immersive art exhibit.”
Strawberry Park Hot Springs, Colorado
Outside magazine likes that Steamboat Springs, Colorado, is so easy — especially for adventure-inclined groups with kids. Yes, you can ski, but you can also bathe in the 104-degree waters of Strawberry Park Hot Springs. Who said spring break destinations had to include a beach anyway?
Tamarindo, Costa Rica
The Travel Channel recommends Costa Rica for a surf camp for the whole family. The camp includes surfing and fun activities like hiking, horseback riding, and yoga.
Quebec City, Canada
March is the last month you can stay in the incredible Hôtel de Glace, which is made entirely of snow and ice. Guests can try the ice slide and grab a cool drink at the Ice Bar, which features cocktails served in glasses made from — you guessed it — ice.
Encampment, Wyoming
The A Bar A Ranch, in Encampment, Wyoming, is one of the oldest dude ranches in the West — and, at 140,000 acres, one of the largest. Guests can immerse themselves in horseback riding, fly fishing, and hiking.
Banff National Park, Canada
The snowfall in the Canadian Rockies reaches its peak in March — which makes it one of Town and Country‘s top picks for this time of year.
