Life’s a beach – or at least it is in when your spring break vacation finds you in our No. 1 spot. The first stop on our tour of Top 10 U.S. Spring Break Destinations takes us to Florida’s northwest coast. And you can go ahead and banish images of disorderly coeds from your head; Panama City Beach is surprisingly family friendly!
Fasten your seatbelts, keep arms and legs inside at all times and hold on tight – your Panama City Beach spring break vacation promises to be a whirlwind ride. Those with an independent streak will flip for this Florida destination, with its wide range of watersports and more that make it easy to create your own adventure. Spend your spring break snorkeling on Shell Island, fishing the piers at St. Andrews State Park or catching a tan while swinging a la carte-style from one land or sea activity to the next.
If you’re traveling with kids, long days exploring the Gulf World Marine Park make for fun-filled spring break vacations – and infinitely less stressed parents. Panama City’s famous white sand beaches are ideal for families with little ones looking to vacation at a more leisurely pace. Kids can pass the time beachcombing and sandcastle building, while parents get an excuse to perfect their Panama City Beach golden glow.
