Whether you’re planning a big family vacation or a few short day trip getaways, spring break is just around the corner. An abundance of snow days this winter may shorten your school’s spring break, so be sure to check your school’s website for changes before you finalize your plans.
From the mountains to the valleys to the oceans across the U.S. and beyond, find the deal that suits your family or plan your own vacation. Here are a few East Coast spring break destinations to consider.
Virginia Beach
The waters of the Atlantic are a little cool in the spring, but the beach is just right for family fun. Plan a Virginia Beach spring break trip and enjoy walking and biking the three-mile boardwalk. Kids will also love playing at JT’s Grommet Island Park, exploring at First Landing State Park and visiting the Virginia Aquarium to see ocean wildlife up close.
Myrtle Beach
Sunny Myrtle Beach, located on the northern tip of South Carolina, is loaded with family-friendly activities. Spend the day soaking up the rays on the beach, ride the Myrtle Beach Skywheel, walk along the boardwalk, visit Ripley’s Aquarium and take in a show or two.
OBX Bound
The Outer Banks
of North Carolina, known as OBX, is 200 miles of beaches and barrier islands, including some you can only reach by ferry or 4WD. Some favorite destinations include Duck, Corolla, Nags Head, Kitty Hawk and Cape Hatteras. OBX is quieter and less busy than some of the East Coast beaches, allowing time for family to reconnect.
Walt Disney World
Disney parks will spoil your family for any other amusement park experience. Soar with Dumbo, visit Cinderella’s Castle and meet your kids’ favorite cartoon characters. Be sure to stay for the magic of the Electric Light Parade. Walt Disney World parks include the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon.
Florida Beaches
From top to bottom of Florida, there are many sunny beach destinations. Clearwater is great for families. Your family may also enjoy a spring break trip to Miami, Sanibel, Destin, Fort Lauderdale or Key West. Plan your Florida beach vacation and enjoy a sunny getaway.

Atlantic City is the most well-know beach in New Jersey, but there are plenty of other choices for spring break fun. The Wildwoods, Sandy Hook, Cape May and Ocean City also offer lots of family fun on the Jersey Shore.
Washington DC
