Spring break, where the snow melts, the sun starts to re-emerge and college students have time off from their stressful exams. The result: partying, jam-packed beaches and brimming hotels. Although, spring break is more than just a college student extravaganza - it's also a time for families, couples, friends and even honeymooners. Far away from the hordes of college students, you'll find a variety of destinations that intertwine fun and tranquil vibes without the partying and hustle or bustle synonymous with spring break. Here are our top picks for avoiding the crowds for the 2020 spring break season...
