Spring break in the Emerald Coast can be challenging at times. The traffic, influx of tourists, and crowded beaches
can make you want to spend the entire week indoors. Here are some tips to help you get through this year’s
spring break.
1. Account for additional time when traveling to your destinations. Traffic can cause a simple grocery store run to
be a day-long event.
2. Try to run errands during the week. Most tourist will arrive on a weekend and will go shopping for the week on
a Saturday or Sunday producing large crowds.
3. Watch out for ‘tourist-priced’ merchandise. Local stores may increase the prices of goods during high-traffic
seasons.
4. Stay off the roads around hotel check in and check out times. Traffic can be hectic.
5. Knowing the backroads can help you avoid the traffic jams on Highway 98.
