Panama City Beach: March 8-21

Parasailing on Panama Beach

Spring Break Panama City Beach

Panama City Beach is the hottest Florida spring break destination, easily winning the "Spring Break Capital" award! Panama City Beach is one of the few beach communities to welcome spring breakers, so they come... some half a million a year. So do many companies that sponsor special events and hand out freebies — Victoria Secret, The Army, Banana Boat, GEICO and more are past supporters.

Besides the 27 miles of sugar-white and coffee-colored sand, college students come expecting to party hard. They are never disappointed. There always seems to be plenty of booze, plenty of wild contests and events and MTV is usually on hand to provide plenty of entertainment.
