With spring break capitals like Miami and Cancun, places like Florida often get overlooked. Which is both a shame and a blessing at the same time. This gem in America’s Southwest region boasts of over 60 kilometers of white sand beaches and a significantly less number of visitors—a perfect destination for a relaxing, sunny spring break.
