San Diego, CA
San Diego’s pleasant and mild weather wins it the top spot on the best spring break destinations list. While the water in San Diego is still cold during spring, March and April are the best months to catch the gray whales’ annual migration from Alaska to Mexico. And, the best seat of the house to whale watch just so happens to be on a boat.
