Spring breakers are flocking to the beaches of Florida’s Space Coast in record numbers.
The area has seen a steady increase in visitors since the end of the pandemic, with March expected to have the best occupancy rate ever recorded for that month at 80%.
Local businesses have reported increased activity, with the Office of Tourism benefiting from a larger marketing budget due to spikes in tourist tax revenue.
The area’s beaches are also in good shape despite recent hurricane damage.
The surge in visitors is attributed to a wave of appreciation for warmer weather and a desire to escape colder climates.
