Panama City Beach, Florida has been the Spring Break Capital of the World since the late 80's. One of the reasons the city prohibits the consumption of alcohol on the beach during the month of March is to help deal with all of the Spring Break crowds. So, if you are not looking for a college Spring Break experience, you should avoid the central part of PCB in March. Staying on West End PCB is much quieter during Spring Break than is typical of the more populated areas of PCB.
