off the beaten path

Okay, so you’ve made it through the long,
snow/slushy/rainy winter. You’ve possibly even been
snowed in once or twice, depending on where you
live. You’ve definitely lasted through the short days
and the gloom of winter no matter where you live.
Now it’s time to shake off the cobwebs and get some
much-needed Vitamin D, but all of the places that
spring to mind are about to be crawling with beer
cans and bikinis, MTV and late night parties. Here is
a list of places that you can get away to, without
running into the spring-break crowd.

A much friendlier, quieter Florida spot in
March is Hollywood, where you’ll find the
protected North Beach, an eco-friendly
oasis that has a sea-turtle hatchery. There
is the Anne Kolb Nature Center at West
Lake Park, which has canoeing and
kayaking on offer to explore the marine life
and mangroves.
M I C H A E L T U N N E Y . I N F O
Cancun is wall-to-wall spring break this
time of year, but if you head just two hours’
drive North, you hit soft white sands of
Tulum, Mexico. There you will find quiet,
lush jungle scenery, Mayan ruins to
explore, and relaxing resorts not spilling
over with people.
M I C H A E L T U N N E Y . I N F O
Hit Hawaii in the early spring, too far away for
most spring break travel, and before summer
tourism really kicks in. You can still get your fill of
tropical drinks and flip-flops on pristine beaches
without stumbling over a hundred college kids on
your way to the water. Try a smaller island for a
more rugged hiking/camping experience, or stick
to the big island for pampering and touristy beach
spots.

Montreal is a beautiful city with a
burgeoning foodie scene and is pretty
sunny and temperate in March. There are
few better cities in the world to hang out in
a park all day to thaw out from the winter’s
chill. Picnics, walking, shopping, and street
art and music from all over the world
abound in this beautiful, approachable city.
M I C H A E L T U N N E Y . I N F O
Turks and Caicos might not be the first
idea that springs to mind, but in the
early spring there’s been airfare as low
as $340 out on New york in past years.
Some of the best islands for relaxing
getaways in the world, so it’s
absolutely a trip worth checking out.
M I C H A E L T U N N E Y . I N F O
Santa Fe, New Mexico is a beautiful town
full of good music and good food and
warmth. Keeping away from a waterfront will
minimize spring break hectic chaos and
prices, and with SXSW activities happening
in March, there are pretty good travel deals
to places in the Southwest that AREN’T
Austin, TX around this time.
