As Spring Break approaches for many students, the escape from school is always a welcomed event.

While some may choose the snow or the Vegas strip, the beach will forever be the best Spring Break party spot.

So, factoring in location, cost and overall atmosphere, where should spring breakers travel for the top beach parties?

Cancun, Mexico

Allianz recently revealed Cancun as the most popular international spring break destination, and it's easy to see why. With plenty of great all-inclusive rates and clean, white sand beaches, party goers can have it all in paradise.

Panama City, Florida

Some might say this is the place to be for spring break. The beach parties will last well into the night and then kick back up again once the sun rises. With the drinking ban lifted for certain beach areas, enjoy fun in the sun with music and all kinds of contests. Just be ready for a big crowd. Then again, maybe that's what you're looking for!

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Thanks to awesome all-inclusive packages offered all over, Punta Cana is a rising hot spot for beach travelers. If you're looking for amazing views and a fun time internationally, everything you'll need and want to party is right there at your resort on the beach.

Daytona Beach, Florida

Here you'll find more than 20 miles of beaches to party on, plus lower prices than other areas of Florida, all which makes Daytona a fantastic place for spring breakers looking to enjoy themselves but not break the bank. Travelers can drive their car on the beach, so please act responsibly and don't drink and drive.
