Hollywood Beach
Hollywood Beach doesn’t get as much love as Panama City Beach or Daytona Beach, but there still are a considerable amount of college kids waiting to live it up. We suggest this spring break Florida spot if you love the fun, just not the crazy crowds. Make sure to visit the Hollywood Downtown Entertainment District, it’s where all of the hot eateries, pubs, and bars are. And stop by some of their famous murals for a quick picture, they make for a great Insta post.
Orlando
Orlando might be a nice spring break Florida destination if you’re more into amusement parks than beer bongs. Hit up Disney World and watch the fire works while walking along the Disney Boardwalk. Need a little more adrenaline? Head out to the Universal Studios theme park for more heart racing rides, then stop by The Wizarding World of Harry Potter for some butter beers. Or check out a local brewery if you’re craving a real beer. This is one of the best spring break Florida destinations.
St. Pete Clearwater Beach
Clearwater beach is known to be slightly more calm around spring break than it’s other Florida beach counterparts. If you’re looking for a calmer spring break experience, but still want to hit up the beach, then Clearwater is the spot to stay. Plus it’s one of Florida’s most beautifully kept beaches. And there are still party adventures to be had, think pub crawls, and block parties, but you won’t find all out ragers anywhere at Clearwater.
Naples
Naples is another spring break Florida destination frequented by a slightly calmer crowd. Think of relaxing beach side with drink in hand, rather than downing double shots of tequila on the beach. They are very into their beach resorts in Naples, so expect a much more high end experience if you choose to stay at one of these. Naples is all about luxury and relaxation, so if that’s what was missing from your last spring break trip, then we recommend this resting-place.
Ft. Lauderdale
Ft. Lauderdale rounds out our top 10 spring break Florida destinations, and this one is a popular hot spot. Think MTV Spring Break style beach and pool parties. And since it’s such a coveted spring break spot, you’ll have lots of options and packages to choose from when it comes to booking your trip.
