College Spring Break on Siesta Key,
Sarasota and the Sunny Gulf Coast of Florida!

College spring break on Siesta Key and along the Sarasota suncoast area is set against a backdrop of beautiful beaches and sparkling gulf coast waters…lots of sunshine…and spectacular sunsets.

From daytime beach combing or lying out on the baby powder soft, cool white sand of Siesta Key Beach, the number one beach in the USA, to night time partying in "the village," there's plenty to do on Siesta Key at College Spring Break time.

There are also lots of Siesta Key condo rentals available as well as bungalows and single family homes and other accommodations from cottages, to beach side houses to rent - and great places to party in Siesta Key Village, downtown Sarasota, the Gulf Gate area and St. Armand's Circle.

Hotties on the beach...and everywhere
here on spring break..

The best part of your college spring break in the Sarasota, Florida area is that while there are crowds, lots of clubs, fun events and stuff to do, you don’t have the HUGE and sometime riotous crowds of other so called "official" spring break Meccas. It's not stifling here as it is other places.

Why not?

Simple. Because Sarasota is not considered a "traditional" college spring break “party mecca” – and that’s good for you. In fact, it's GREAT for you! You can keep it your own little secret and still have a great time among your friends and peers.

After all, why put up with suffocating and sometimes out of control crowds when you can have just as good of a time here?

The Sarasota area may not be considered a College Spring Break “Party Mecca,” but it doesn’t mean we’re not hip!

And here's a BONUS: ALL of the beaches of Sarasota County feature free admission, free parking (a nice change from St. Pete, Clearwater and the beaches to the north on the gulf coast) and easy access!

Spring Break Girls & Guys!

But our lack of notoriety as a college spring break “Party Mecca” doesn’t mean that you won’t find bikini clad spring break girls and guys walking not only up and down the strand at the beach, but also up and down the streets and sidewalks near Siesta Key Beach and throughout Siesta Key Village.

So make sure, if you’re driving and watching the spring break girls and guys, that you don’t get carried away and into an accident or find that you've driven up a sidewalk and killed someone!
