Forget Destin, Panama City Beach or St. Augustine. These northern Florida spring break hotspots can still feel relatively cold well into March. Who wants a frigid swim in the ocean on spring break? Pack your skimpiest swimsuit and journey south. The beaches of South Florida boast a sparkling beach scene with temperatures worthy of a late night skinny dip (if you dare). In mid to late February, temperatures are already reaching a perfect 78 degrees, setting the scene for swoon-worthy weather in March. And, you won't have to pack a jacket "just in case" - the Polar Vortex doesn't swing down to South Florida.

Bring your appetite and good company to treat your taste buds at these fine South Florida dining establishments. Voted the best hamburger by GQ Magazine, grab a burger at Le Tub and then hit the beach – a quick stroll across the street lands you at old Hollywood Beach Park. One of the best restaurants in Miami, Prime One Twelve is a modern steakhouse located in Miami Beach's first hotel built in 1915. Joe's Stone Crab opened in 1913 and has been serving fresh Florida stone crab for over 100 years. If you have never tried Florida stone crab before, spring break is the perfect time to try something new – it's absolutely delicious.
