So you've been to the beach every year for the past five years...you hate skiing like you hate 7 a.m. classes...if the typical spring break destinations sound bland and boring, here are some fresh destination ideas for you. Ride solo or bring a squad, you're guaranteed to have fun at these less explored spring break spots.

Portland, Maine

Explore the beautiful state of Maine, with temperate weather and beautiful shoreline, Portland is definitely a destination. Featuring a huge art and theatre culture, Portland has lots to offer from every perspective: art, food, outdoor rec, spas, nightlife and more. Try some fresh Maine lobster, sit on their scenic shores, or try to get a selfie with a moose!

New York City, New York

We all know about the hustle and bustle of New York City, but have you been there? If the answer is no, perhaps your spring break trip could feature Times Square, famous NYC style pizza, Broadway, and bumping nightlife.

New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans is an optimal travel destination year round. The city is alive with music and culture, and you can never go hungry here! Explore the French Quarter and their numerous parks and museums, after you go to Bourbon St. of course.

Phoenix, Arizona

The natural wonder of the Phoenix desert should be enough to draw you to the southwest. Hike rock formations, explore natural rivers, bike through the city, take walks through their canals or explore Pheonix's LGBTQ district. Phoenix is meant for an active attitude and adventurous souls.

Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio

If you're an adrenaline junkie, look no further than the rollercoaster capital, Cedar Point Amusement Park located in Sandusky, Ohio. With 18 thrilling coasters, there will be no shortage of screams here. Get a weekend pass and test your limits, can you make it on all of them?

Yellowstone National Park

If you love camping and the great outdoors, a national park like Yellowstone is the perfect place to plan your spring break. Go on wildlife tours, test your hand at photography or relax by some natural hot springs. The park is located in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, so there's plenty os surrounding cities to explore as well. Sounds like a great road trip!
