Santa Monica Beach, California
Santa Monica Beach in California is another great destination for spring breakers. This beach has a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere and is perfect for those who want to soak up the sun in close proximity to downtown Los Angeles. The area is home to the iconic Santa Monica Pier, which features an amusement park, an aquarium and the first solar powered ferris wheel. Bike and surfboard rentals offer plenty of opportunity for fun in or out of the cool waters and there's plenty of shopping when you're ready to dust off the sand.
