Spring Break Destinations in Florida – Key West, Miami, Daytona & South Beach
Florida is a perennial vacation spot for many, but for college students it is one of the best places to go on Spring Break.
Key West has white-sand beaches and turquoise water. It is considered a tropical paradise for visitors. Water sports are highly popular here such as diving, snorkeling, and exploring the underwater coral reefs.
Miami Beach has become more famous as the years have passed. It is a place where colorful buildings line the streets and shopping is superb, encompassing the most well-known designer shops in Florida. With a variety of restaurants, you will be spoilt for choice in Miami. The beaches are great and of course the weather couldn’t be better this time of year.
Daytona is well known for its Daytona 500 races as well as Bike Week, and hoards of college students descend here during Spring Break. While most college students will spend their entire stay on the beach, Daytona does offer one the opportunity to visit the Kennedy Space Center.
South Beach is another hot spot that has become just as popular as Miami Beach. Although the hotels on Collins Avenue are expensive, you can find affordable accommodations on Collins between 10th and 15th St.
The best thing about vacationing in Florida is that it is quite affordable and the airfares tend to be lower than other vacation spots. However, you need to book early as many students from across the country will fly to Ft. Lauderdale and other major cities in Florida.
Only two and a half hours from New York, time is of the essence when getting ready for a Spring Break vacation. So pack light, preferably carry-on luggage, wear your swim suit and trunks under your clothes and upon arrival, get ready to hit the beach!
