If you haven’t planned out your spring break adventure yet, check out these fun destination that might not have crossed your mind.

Sure, you could hop in your car and take a road trip to a beach along the coastline of the continental US, but why would you? Most stateside beaches will be filled with people during spring break. Plus, the popular beaches, such as Panama City Beach, Florida, are known college destination that won’t be family friendly. Instead, get tickets to Puerto Rico and spend spring break sunning on the beach in Cabo Rojo. You’ll be able to explore the fortress at El Morro and the bioluminescent bay in Fajardo. If you’re wondering if you’ll need passports to spend spring break in Puerto Rico, the answer is no. The islands are a US commonwealth so if you don’t have a passport, you’re still good to go.
