Many people travel to Florida for Spring Break, but that can get expensive. If you keep your eye on the weather and travel to the Keys when there isn’t a hurricane, than summer is the best time to go.
First, you will need to find a place to stay. The Mermaid and the Alligator has to be one of the coolest places. An old early 1900s Victorian home, is now a bed and breakfast that offers a complimentary breakfast right next to the pool.
There are plenty of beaches to head to for the day. You can lounge in hammocks or swim in the blue water. The beaches really are paradise, full of palm trees and white sands. Certain beaches are great for surfing, while others are better for just relaxing.
