And while we certainly love classic spring break destinations like Punta Cana and Cancún, these six spots are a bit more unconventional -- and totally awesome. From the American Southwest to bustling metropolises a little further north, here are six alternative spring breaks we love -- and you will, too. [Oyster Bullet] Zion National Park, UT Spring is one of the most beautiful times to visit Zion National Park, where you can stare in awe at Zion Canyon’s red sandstone cliffs and brilliant blue skies. Spend your days hiking, biking, and exploring the region’s natural beauty. [Oyster Bullet] Los Angeles, CA LA is always a popular place for tourists, and it should be on more spring break lists. Not only do you have a hopping nightlife, and loads of fun attractions, but you also have gorgeous beaches nearby. The weather in LA in springtime is pleasant with highs around 70 degrees, so on warmer days it’s perfect for beach going at [El Matador State Beach]( in Malibu, [Laguna Beach]( and of course, [Venice Beach]( with its boardwalk filled with shops, street performers, and amazing people watching. For amusement park lovers, just outside of LA are Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm. [Oyster Bullet] Vancouver, British Columbia Often ranked as one of the world’s most livable cities, Vancouver truly does have it all. A cosmopolitan metropolis, Vancouver features one of the most appealing environmental juxtapositions a city can offer: the mountains and the sea. Outdoor enthusiasts will likely appreciate Vancouver’s parks, gardens, beaches, and mountains, and those who prefer a classic cosmopolitan experience should check out the trendy boutiques and luxury dining on Robson Street. The city is also one of Canada’s most culturally diverse and is particularly LGBT-friendly. Vancouver’s relatively mild weather means spring is a great time to visit. [6 Alternative Spring Break Destinations We Love]( [Oyster Bullet] Great Smoky Mountains, TN Visit one of the most beautiful spots in the U.S. with a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. The perfect spot for an adventure-filled break, you can spend your time biking, horseback riding, and skiing away the day. Get an awe-inspiring view from above at both the [Space Needle]( and the [SkyBridge]( attractions in Gatlinburg. [Oyster Bullet] New York City, NY Let’s face it, there’s never a bad time to visit New York City. It’s the city that never sleeps — so you know there will always be something good going on. Culture buff? Spend your days exploring the city’s museums. Outdoor enthusiast? Check out Central Park, the High Line, and Battery Park. Lover of show tunes? See a different performance every night, both on and off Broadway. Food fanatic? This is New York, so you can sample any type of cuisine imaginable. [Oyster Bullet] Santa Fe, NM Two words: [Margarita Trail](. If that isn’t enough to convince you to head to Santa Fe for spring break, I don’t know what is. But if 45 different kinds of margaritas isn’t enough to pique your interest, then maybe [skiing]( a [sky railway]( casinos and spas will help you decide. In short, Santa Fe has a wide variety of activities to choose from, no matter what your style. Is there something you'd like us to cover in our newsletter? Let us know by clicking the link below!
