A long flight is stressful enough, so we tried to bring together a list of places that aren't too hard to get to if you're living in the continental United States (although we did include a couple out-of-the-way destinations for our more adventurous readers). While spring break destinations are often associated with rowdiness and hardcore partying, that's not everyone's cup of tea. We've come up with places that are also known for their beaches, their scenery, the activities in town, or even their restaurant scene.

So before it's too late, consider one of these ideas for a last-minute spring break you definitely need.
