For the friend who bought way too many bikinis for the trip and is constantly checking to see if the UV is higher than 5, try cliff jumping at Sunset Cliffs or roller-skating along the Mission Beach Boardwalk. That’s not to say that SoCal doesn’t have a million other just as perfect vacay spots (check out Laguna Beach, Balboa Island, or San Clemente), but no matter where you stay in San Diego it'll be the perfect place for a motley crew of spring breakers.įor the early-riser who not-so-subtly judges everyone else for sleeping in past 9 a.m., check out Better Buzz Coffee before a morning hike along La Jolla Trail. When we think of spring break in Southern California, we think of San Diego.

Feeling antsy? Mystic vortexes in Sedona, historic hillsides in Jerome, and fresh mountain air in Flagstaff are a daytrip away. After catching a Suns game at the Footprint Center, nurse a nightcap at Crescent Ballroom and see who’s playing on the mainstage.įor outdoor types, take a stroll through the Desert Botanical Garden or a hike at Camelback Mountain. Also check out Heritage Square, a historic Victorian-era plaza now home to restaurants and bars, such as Pizzeria Bianco and neighboring Bar Bianco. In Phoenix, hit up Valley Bar for speakeasy vibes (peep the rotating shadow puppets above the bar) with cocktails named after Arizona politicians, like the Gabby Giffords and the Sandra Day Old Fashioned. Take a walk later at Tempe Beach Park where there’s always a festival, concert, or weird drum circle happening. In Tempe, check out Cartel Coffee Lab for pour overs and pastries, then hop over to Casey Moore’s Oyster House, a local haunt for sun-dried locals and dive-bar fare. Sky Harbor Airport nicely straddles Phoenix and neighboring Tempe. (Literally any other time is a mistake.) We’ll spare you the tired “dry heat” jokes in lieu of the truth: good weather strikes the Phoenix area for only a few weeks in March and April but after that it’s fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk hot. Spring is the best time to visit Phoenix.
