Florida: Daytona Beach
As Ft. Lauderdale enacted more restrictive laws to discourage college students from visiting during spring break, party goers responded by moving to the more permissive community of Daytona Beach area. Over 350,000 students traveled there each spring at its peak during the 1980s. But, following the same pattern as Ft. Lauderdale earlier in the decade, Daytona Beach's local government undertook similarly restrictive measures and the crowds of the late-1990s and early 2000s had fallen to a point where "a few students still come, but officials don't even estimate their numbers".

Famous quotes containing the word beach:
“A young person is a person with nothing to learn
One who already knows that ice does not chill and fire does not burn . . .
It knows it can spend six hours in the sun on its first
day at the beach without ending up a skinless beet,
And it knows it can walk barefoot through the barn
without running a nail in its feet. . . .
Meanwhile psychologists grow rich
Writing that the young are ones’ should not
undermine the self-confidence of which.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
