For the majority of the year, the normally sedate West Florida coast attracts, er.. a more 'mature' visitor, and reverberates to the gentle sound of motorised wheelchairs and the soft clacking of zimmer frames, but for most of March the place goes wild with hoardes of young college students from across the country descending on the area for their annual Spring Break.
Although not as popular as Spring Break mecca, Panama City Beach in Bay County Florida (which becomes an American Ibiza for the holiday) many students nonetheless descend on the Tampa Bay area attracted by its wide, white sandy beaches, and abundant sunshine.
So if you’re planning a spring break yourself, particularly in Clearwater Beach, book well in advance as accommodation is at a premium during this time – and pack your party hat
