Panama City Beach is a popular spring break destination, with its 27 miles of white sand beaches, but it’s also one of the most beautiful in Florida. When travelling with the girls, you’ll love this beach’s crystal clear waters, along with the many waterfront restaurants that serve freshly caught local seafood.
Scuba divers and those after a little bit more of an adventure can head out to explore the artificial reefs located just offshore. After a place to stay in Panama City Beach? Check out these hotels for a few ideas.

#2 Key West

Key West is located just 90 miles from Cuba, and whilst it has grown in popularity due to the sheer number of cruise ships docking there each year, it’s also home to beautiful pastel homes. In the evenings, a trip to Mallory Square is a must just to see the tightrope walkers, jugglers, and other performers as the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. Afterward, head out to one of the many sidewalk cafés, restaurants, or bars to enjoy an evening of entertainment and fine dining with the girls. It is easy to see why Ernest Hemingway loved it.

#3 Daytona Beach

No matter the season, there’s always a summertime vibe in Daytona Beach. This is most definitely the Florida beach town to visit if you enjoy music festivals. If you’re more of a petrol head, you might prefer to watch the NASCAR drivers flying by during the iconic Daytona 500 NASCAR race held each February. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Daytona Beach, we have several hotels here.

#4 South Beach

Once farmland, this artificial Floridian beach has become quite famous, partly because of its role as the backdrop for the 1980s TV show “Miami Vice.” Since then, South Beach has grown into a prosperous area, with many people purchasing second homes nearby.
For a group of girls travelling together, South Beach also offers plenty of retail therapy opportunities. There are always boutiques open alongside popular nightclubs and restaurants.

#5 Clearwater Beach

With inviting waters and unblemished sand, Clearwater Beach is an impressive place to spend a few hours, catching up on that all-important vitamin D. The town itself has become quite famous, thanks to the connection that it has with Winter the Dolphin, star of the children’s classic, “Dolphin Tale.”
For the perfect girly getaway, consider heading here during February, when the annual Clearwater Beach Uncorked Wine and Food Festival takes place. I can think of no better way to spend time enjoying a weekend with the girls than with a tasty glass of cool white wine and a stunning view. Why not consider staying at one of these fantastic hotels whilst visiting Clearwater Beach?

Just off the coast of Sarasota, Siesta Key is an area known for its sandy beaches. The public beach there has been named one of the nation’s best. This beach may only be 8 miles long, but it’s perfect for those who want to relax with a good book or for those who want a girly afternoon with a picnic. This is also a great location for water sports enthusiasts who enjoy parasailing, kayaking, fishing, and sailing.
