Spring Break is a special time and needs to be done right.

It’s not just for teenagers and 20-somethings – it’s for families too. So rather than leave you to scour the internet at the last minute for budget-friendly destinations, beautiful destinations, or activity-filled destinations, family vacations expert Family Destinations Guide have done this for you.  

  • Shell Island is a great place to spot dolphins and fishing
  • Panama City Beach, Titusville and Florida Keys make Florida the best state for a family Spring Break
  • Florida is the only state to feature in the top 10 more than once

Florida came up three times in the top 10 best locations for a Family Spring Break.

The top Florida location is Panama City Beach. With more than a dozen beaches with the green of the Gulf of Mexico, Panama City Beach is a great location for a family Spring Break. This location is great to spot bald eagles and alligators or even go on an airboat adventure.  

You could go to Shell Island for fishing and to spot dolphins or take a ride on the SkyWheel at the Pier Park for the spectacular view of Emerald Coast.  

The second-best Florida location on the list is Titusville. Coming up eighth on the list, it’s just a few miles from the world-famous Kenned Space Complex.  

Florida’s Space Coast is highly recommended and has some of the most beautiful beaches along the Canaveral National Seashore.  

A great option for the whole family is the lagoon; spotting manatees and dolphins for the kids and relaxed paddling for the parents. And it can be done during the day, or a lovely night activity.  

The final Florida location to make the list came in 10th and is Florida Keys. If you are a fan of sea creatures, Turtle Hospital in Marathon is a great place for all the family. This is another great location for snorkelling if you head to Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary. 

Florida Keys is also known to be a perfect place to enjoy cocktails and relax under the sun. The top two locations were Dominica in Caribbean and Wisconsin Dells in Wisconsin. The rest of the top 10 included Indianapolis, Mayakoba, Grand Cayman, Ogden and Puerto Rico.


A spokesperson for Family Destinations Guide said: “Spring Break is a memorable time for families and to make the location decision easier, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best places to go.  

“Such a vast state with so much to do, Florida’s made itself home to some of the best locations for Spring Break, and more broadly, a go-to state for families at this time of year.  

“The total list includes city locations, activities for all the family, ski options and as well as plenty of beach holidays.”
