Traveling to Florida in March and we'd like to avoid the spring break crowd.

Are they noticeable in Hollywood? How about Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?

Contact both Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and LBTS Chamber and ask if they get big spring break college crowds. Hollywood is a big Canadian mecca and prices reflect this (except for the Westin Diplomat).

Neither seems like it would have the nightlife to attract spring breakers.

I am assuming you are speaking of college kids and not families?

Just a guess. But I'll bet if you contacted a chamber of commerce and said you were a college kid, was it a good place for spring breakers, they'd say yes. And if you called the same chamber and said you were an older couple looking to avoid spring breakers they say they don't get many. Of course, I may be wrong on that, but I've never known a chamber of commerce to say that a place wasn't suitable for whomever was inquiring.

But to answer your question, neither will be major destinations for lots of college spring breakers, although you'll find some everywhere in Florida taking over parents' or grandparents' condos.

Patrick, I believe the area's Chamber has a bit more of a responsibility than you may give them credit for having.

I know the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce informs visitors of city wide conventions such as the boat show, Art Basel and Urban Beach Week because they consume the area and may impede on ones vacation.

The Daytona Beach Chamber also tells warns visitors about Bike Week.

Again, this is only if you call and ask.

Yes, it's the college kids we're trying to avoid.
