Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Miami, Florida
Those are THE best, there are other great places but those are the best of the best, and most well known spring break locations especially Fort Lauderdale.
Panama City Beach Florida. College kids from all over the Eastern half of the US come there. It's insane and very crowded during Spring Break. People are also very friendly. I met so many people from all over. People are always asking complete strangers "hey where you from?"
These 4 places are by far the best of the best for spring break for college students:
Cancun, Mexico
Panama City Beach, Florida
South Padre Island, Texas
Acapulco, Mexico
In response to the suggestions before me:
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is another great option, but only if you're spring break is in April. Many colleges have their spring breaks in mid March, and at that point in time, it's not always hot enough in Myrtle Beach.
Miami, Florida is a cool place to go for spring break, but because it's a big city, you won't get the crazy college party atmosphere you will in the spots I previously mentioned.
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (like Daytona Beach) used to be a hot spring break spot, but it's not at all anymore.
These 4 places are by far the best of the best for spring break for college students:
Cancun, Mexico
Panama City Beach, Florida
South Padre Island, Texas
Acapulco, Mexico
This list sounds about right to me.
You may also enjoy South Beach (Miami), but it is not really a collage atmosphere. Although it will have a lot of Spanish speakers along with a more Euro vibe.
Party, party, party
girls, girls, girls
beach, beach, beach
I wouldn't suggest you go if you are over 30 though, it's a place where the young run the beach/boardwalk.
Isn't it too cold there in March and April for the beach?
