Top 10 spring break destinations - Lake Havasu, Arizona

While Las Vegas is an all-time favorite spring break destination, Lake Havasu, some 3 hours southeast of Sin City in the Arizona desert, is also gaining major partygoer appeal, thanks to its array of after-dark action, stunning scenery, and its main attraction, the eponymous lake itself.





Nestled amid craggy mountain peaks alongside the Colorado River, and dubbed the "personal watercraft capital of the world," Lake Havasu boasts over 400 miles of coastline and water sports galore — think fishing, skiing, kayaking, and boating (lots of boat and Jet Ski rentals are also available for those of you without your own vessels). Havasu's on-land activities span from beach-bumming, off-roading desert treks, and golfing, to horseback riding, hot-air ballooning, rock climbing, and biking.

There’s plenty of nighttime action to keep spring breakers playing long after dark, too: Several clubs and bars boast killer views of the Colorado River and some even offer outdoor parties on the river itself.
