Our hotel room had a beach view, it was absolutely amazing. You could hear the waves crashing and the sunset was nothing short of breath taking.Full review by anthony r

Beautiful beach! A little crowded in places but it was first week of spring break. Would go back during a time not a bunch of college kids there. Over all it wasn’t to bad.Full review by Chastity M

A small minded, racist town with unreliable service infrastructure and underhanded business practices. The hotel we booked lied about being beachfront. Getting a taxi/Uber/Lift takes up to 30 minutes…Full review by Anna Z

Q:
Soo I have a question! I’m leaving for the beach soon and I’m conflicted. I just turned 21 and I have found it extremely difficult to make an appointment with any dmv due to them being so busy. Meaning, I still have my vertical ID. I was told that if I do get it changed they will give me a temporary paper ID with my old ID attached to it, someone told me they had issues with the paper ID in Florida. So I guess my question is would anyone know if I would have troubles with my vertical ID in Florida? Of course I’m a worry wart and want to make sure I have everything together before traveling. Thanks.

A:
Tiki Bar at the Sandpiper is hot spot during spring break. I'm sure it will be on the weekend of the 4th. I have been told that Sharky’s Beach Bar is good one. Be careful and have fun!
