Why Destin’s Busiest Spring Break Weeks Are Later Than You Think
Many spring break articles focus on:
- College schedules
- Florida school districts only
But Destin is a drive-to beach destination, and our bookings are heavily influenced by families from:
- Kentucky
- Indiana
- Michigan
- Georgia county school systems
- Midwest metro areas
These districts often schedule spring break in late March and early April, which is why Destin remains busy well after other beach destinations slow down.
