Spring break, a time of sunshine and beaches is right around the corner. As it approaches, everyone is starting to make their plans with their friends and families. Here’s a list of activities to turn a bleak day into an adventure over your break.
1) Clearwater Beach
If you’re looking to have a good time, Clearwater is the place to go. The police presence ensures safety, and people from all around Tampa gather to play games, eat food, tan and swim. It’s a great way to meet new friends and make memories that will last a lifetime. I’d recommend going in the morning before it gets too crowded to find a good spot to settle in, and staying till sunset is always fun.
2) Try new restaurants
You can never go wrong with food. In Tampa, there are always new and innovative places opening around the corner. One of my favorite activities is riding around with a friend and finding the latest restaurants. Some newer ones in the area are The Naked Farmer, Kura Sushi and The Salty Donut.
3) Late night drives
It’s always fun to drive around at night with music blasting just singing at the top of your lungs; it is even more fun to do with friends. This is something every teenager should experience as I believe activities like these capture what it feels like to be young. However, taking caution and wearing a seatbelt is always crucial.
4) Busch Gardens
This is one of the biggest amusement parks in Florida where your day can vary from seeing elephants to riding a 90 mph ride like Cheetah Hunt. Although this costs money, I think every penny is worth it. During spring break, they have their food and wine festival which includes concerts and food and drink tasting on the weekends.
5) Strawberry Festival
If you love strawberries and like festivals, the strawberry festival is the place for you. The live music, games and food guarantee that you’ll have a super fun time. If you’re a dessert lover, I’d recommend building your own strawberry shortcake or even their funnel cakes. I’ve gone in the previous years and it is always a fun time.
Trying new activities is what makes your spring break memorable. Take advantage of your time off and have fun.
