When I was growing up (many decades ago) it was Panama City and Daytona Beach. But I agree with Bob "RealMan" Timm ~ it's so much harder with daughters

What's the normal population of Panama City?  

Reminds me of Forest County, PA, population about 5,000.  During hunting season population triples.  

Then there is Texas Panhandle where my brother lives.  There are twenty times as many cattle and pigs than people.

Thanks Conrad Allen and Happy Easter

Didn't know that.  I've always heard Daytona and Lake Havasu aka "Lake Havascrew" in Nevada/Arizona.

 

Never did the spring break thing growing up.

Hmmm.  I live 90 miles from PCB, and I can attest that Spring Break there is almost dead this year.

    From the Panama City News Herald

"...Hotel reservations down more than 50 percent this Spring Break and businesses reporting sales down anywhere from 50 to 85 percent."
Businesses say the reduction is due to new laws passed to tone down the celebration, particularly the law banning drinking on the beach in March.... the primary reason for the decrease in visitors is the bad publicity about crime from last year’s Spring Break."

Panama City was big back in my kids school days and now has made a come back. This year they implemented curfews and no drinking on the beach to keep chaos from breaking out. There are roadblocks on the highways too to keep drugs and drunk drivers off the roads.
