Often referred to as America's Riviera, South Beach is trendy and hip... THE place to see and be seen in Florida... especially during spring break! South Beach is also a magnet for celebrities either appearing in films or television series being filmed on location. During the day, you might see rollerbladers, models, celebs, vintage cars and Harleys promenade around the streets while tourists gawk from one of Ocean Drive's outdoor cafes. By night the clubs sizzle.

Spring break in South Beach is like flying first-class instead of coach. It's first rate and classy. That's not to say it isn't fun. The party's definitely on... but it's definitely toned down from other spring break locations.
