I have only been to one of these locations during a spring break in my lifetime. It was when I was young, although it was not intentional to go there during spring break. It just happened that way. It sure was a great time. This was over 25 years ago or more however. I ended up in Miami Beach. I would love to visit Key West, although at my age, not during spring break haha.
ReplyDeleteI was recently in Key West and it was an awesome experience. I remember the chickens walking around everywhere. I would say for singles, couples or friends it would be one of my top picks, but for families I may choose one of the other destinations you listed. I love Florida.
ReplyDeleteI've only heard of Spring break especially in Florida from movies as I grew up in another country. I would definitely go to at least one of these if I was here for those days of my youth haha

It's a famous spot! I've never went to Florida but it looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteYay for putting Panama Beach as number 1! I'm a FL panhandle girl and we're often overlooked when it comes to beaches and vacation. Destin is also a fun spring break place too. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never went to Florida, but I want to!
ReplyDeleteOne day I'll travel there! :3
I've done Spring Break on Panama City Beach. It was INSANE! Would love to go back though, but maybe in a quieter season.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Florida but it's definitely a top travel destination for people in my area (I'm in NC) My husband has been to most all those places I believe and he says it's awesome down there!
ReplyDeleteaah, a private hotel beach in Orlando sounds fab - maybe post-spring break though. I'd be the grumpy old lady telling everyone to pipe down, lol. Great piece!
ReplyDeleteI have been to most of the beaches in Florida at one time or another but never during spring break. For spring break we always went to one here in SC.
