Over 15,000 schools let out for one week in March and April around the nation, and Anaheim has long been a favorite spring break destination. A trip to Disneyland is a must for many spring breakers with the perfect weather, seasonal treats, and of course your favorite rides. Aim for a mid-week, early morning arrival for the shortest lines and most comfortable weather.
You’ll also want to explore all the beaches in the area, but don’t feel like you need to stick to the famous sites like Malibu and Venice. Check out lesser known beaches that are highly rated by locals including South Carlsbad State Beach Campground, Crystal Cove State Park and Pirate’s Cove Beach.
Memories in the Making
March is peak whale-watching season as the massive gray and blue whales make their migration up from the coast of Mexico. The Anaheim area is a sanctuary spot for the whales, and there are numerous outings from Newport Beach throughout the day. It’s your best chance to catch a glimpse of the beasts up close and personal.
Also explore the numerous waterparks in the area—there are more options than Disney! Try Great Wolf Lodge, Raging Waters Los Angeles and Aquatica in San Diego, if you’re in the mood for a road trip. With so many ways to keep your cool, you know this will be the best spring break yet.
