Georgia and the Carolinas have some hotspots for families, for spring break: though the "hot" (as in temperature) can vary. For example, Sea Island -- - a barrier island off southern Georgia--has average temp in March of about 70°, 75° in April, but of course days vary; early March highs swung from 65 to 81°. Water temperature, meanwhile, averages 66° in spring.
  • Sea Island Georgia
    A legandary upscale resort, award-winning and the kind of place where families return for generations. Four resorts share 10,000 acres of forest, lawn, and marshland, 5 miles of private beachfront, and many outdoor and indoor activities for families. Kids programs are typically offered during spring break.
  • Hilton Head Island, South Carolina: this popular destination has average highs in the 70's in March and April, and a range of lodgings, from upscale gated resort communities to vacation home rentals, with a lot in between including a Disney resort. Kids programs are mainly summer-only, but some are offered during spring break too.
  • Myrtle Beach, SC:
    South Carolina is the #2 state for tourism, after Florida; Myrtle Beach is 98 miles north of Charleston. Sixty-mile stretch of beaches (-the "Grand Strand"); great fun parks for kids; annual Canadian-American Days mid-March. Note, however, that Myrtle Beach is a mecca for college spring break! Families may want to visit other times of the year, or at least check hotel or resort carefully to make sure you're not amid springer-breakers.
