Best Spring Break Beaches That Won’t Be Overrun with College Students

After you’ve graduated college and moved on to the world of young business, you may find yourself increasingly annoyed with the younger set — so annoyed, in fact, you would prefer not to spend your spring vacation dodging wet t-shirt contest and Jello shots. Enjoy a warm, sandy beach this March or April without sacrificing your sanity. Try these picks for a step away from the college crowd.

Baha Mar, Bahamas

Away from the many families and budget travelers, you can enjoy yourself in this little slice of the Bahamas known as Baha Mar. The SLS just opened up with all the brand’s expected eclectic style and luxury. Plus, if you’re on the East Coast, flights are short and you’ll have a little less to wait before starting the party.

Charleston, S.C.

Maybe you want something a little quieter, and not so “beach resort-y.” If that’s the case, a trip to Charleston might be up your alley. Historic, classy, with a mix of luxury and nightlife, but hardly a party destination, Charleston also has the beach … but its city doesn’t revolve around the fact. Instead, soak up all the southern culture found in downtown Charleston.

Hawai’i

Most students won’t have the budget for a spring break Hawai’ian vacation (unless they’re coming along with mom and dad), meaning you’ll see fewer frat boys and more mature luxury travelers. Plus, you’ll have your pick of the best resorts across multiple islands.

Bermuda

Experiencing a recent boom in tourism, Bermuda isn’t the most affordable option on the list because of just this, but it’s also not top of the list for the traveling college kids either, also thanks to this. While the island is still a little chilly this time of year, it does have plenty to offer by way of picturesque beaches, spectacular spas and a relaxing atmosphere.
