So, what’s the hottest spring break travel destination in America, in general? According to a study from AAA, it’s Florida, which isn’t surprising. If you live in Florida, then you know that this state gets crazy around spring break time. The Sunshine State is really known for spring break fun, too. When I was in college, almost everyone went to Florida for spring break, or Mexico, but mainly Florida. I wasn’t so lucky and stayed home over spring break, but it was fun to hear about everyone’s adventures the following week.
“AAA Travel booking data shows the Sunshine State tops the list of Spring Break destinations,” AAA notes, adding that, “Florida’s beaches, family-friendly attractions, and cruise ports make Florida a logical choice for in-state and out-of-state travelers seeking some fun in the sun. While Orlando is the top choice for Spring Break travelers, Fort Lauderdale and Miami are the two most popular domestic cruise ports.”
The survey also found that the most popular times for people to travel are from March through August, and for many many travelers, their first vacation of the travel season will be for spring break. The timing for spring break often depends on school and college, since schools and colleges have different weeks off designated for spring break.
So, which travel destination is the most affordable spring break trip for 2025? According to the travel experts at U.S. News and World Report, it’s Panama City Beach, which they call a “tried-and-true Florida spring break location that is sure to please the masses.” It’s definitely a popular travel spot and has been for generations. “You’ll no doubt have to contend with throngs of college students while on your trip, but hotel prices are reasonable if you book your accommodations in advance,” they add. Also, remember that, according to the publication, this town bans alcohol consumption on the beach during March.
