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:
“The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe.... The journalist confines himself to the clean, gentlemanly work of exposing the griefs and shames of others.”
—Janet Malcolm (b. 1934)
