The one thing that every
college student looks forward to during the spring semester is spring break. The
place to go is Panama City Beach,
Fla, sometimes referred to
as “The Spring Break Capital of the World.”
The
hot spots to go to at night are Hammer Head
Fred’s, Spinnaker Beach
Club and Paradise Grill Restaurant, Karma and Club LaVela, which is the biggest club in
America.
“The hot spot during the day was right behind Club LaVela,” Sarah Swartz,
nursing junior.
Some
of the daily events that take place on the beach are a huge party with a live
DJ, a pushup contest, dance contest, tug of war, a dating game, an area to ride
a mechanical shark, and frozen t-shirt contest.
“I
participated in the pushup contest and the tug-of-war contest,” said Swartz. “I
won and got a lot of great prizes.”

Aside
from the parties, there were also many areas along the beach where spring
breakers could ride jet skis and wave runners, rent beach chairs and umbrellas
to lay out in the sun, go on dolphin tours and parasailing rides.
The
atmosphere at PCB was one thing that everyone agreed on.
"Everyone
was super nice and excited to be there," said David Salazar, business
administration senior.
"Everyone
was carefree and laid back, doing their own thing," said Le’Tesha
McDuffie, business administration junior.
The
weather proved to be great this past week, allowing all of the events to go
smoothly.
"The
weather was cooler during the morning and night but perfect during the day when
we were on the beach," said Swartz.
Panama
City Beach is a great vacation spot with many great things going on. There was
a lot of good feedback from the people visiting.
"I
am already planning my trip to come back next year," said Salazar.
