3 Ways to Experience Spring Break 

Things to do on your Sunny Beach Vacation

Spring break is right around the corner. If you’re looking for all the vacation essentials — sun, sand, activities and more — consider Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa your Florida beach destination of choice.

Florida’s Gulf coast is one of the best spring break destinations out there. From the emerald green waters to the sugar-white sand, it’s the perfect place to get away, relax and celebrate the season. And the best part? There’s something for everyone.

The Adventurous Spring Break

When the weather is (nearly) perfect all season long, you take advantage andexplore the great outdoors. At Hilton Sandestin Beach it’s easy to explore by land or by sea — and we’ve got plenty of great spring break ideas and activities. Spend your first day of vacation on the water stand up paddleboarding and right here at the resort. Or head to Baytowne Marina for fishing charters, dolphin-watch cruises, parasailing and more. Switch things up on your next day in paradise by visiting Vortex Spring in Ponce De Leon for some scuba diving. There you’ll find the largest diving facility in the state and one of the best diving destinations in the country — equipment rental and lessons are all available on site. After some underwater exploration, check out the zip line, or use the rope swing to jump back into the crystal-clear waters. Before returning to the resort, stop by Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, and to take your picture next to the 25-foot sand dunes. Then come back home and rest up for more adventure at a fantastic Florida beach destination.

A Spring Break Full of Rest & Relaxation

If your ideal spring break vacation begins and ends with a massage, look no further than Hilton Sandestin Beach. Start your day with a relaxing yoga class at Serenity by the sea Spa. After class, enjoy a leisurely, late breakfast on your room’s private balcony or relax by the pool with a book. Then head back to our award-winning Serenity by the sea Spa for an afternoon of pampering. Try our Day of Bliss Package, featuring a full-day of Serenity's signature spa services — including an 80-minute Moroccan Body Melt, signature HydraFacial, Wellness manicure and pedicure. We’ll also include a light spa lunch to hold you over until dinner. Post-pampering, join us at Hadashi Sushi Bar for some sake and sashimi. Relax for the night with a bottle of wine, or take a walk along the beach for an unforgettable sunset view.

Spring Break for Foodie Travelers

For a true gourmet, the best spring break destination is one where you can taste the best local cuisine. And at Hilton Sandestin Beach, we have a variety of dining options to keep our foodie travelers—and their taste buds—busy all vacation long. Ease into spring break with a breakfast full of fresh-baked sweets made daily by our in-house pastry chef at Sandcastles Restaurant and in The Coffee Shop. For lunch or dinner, grab some of the best Gulf-to-table seafood the coast has to offer at Barefoot’s Beachside Bar & Grill, where you can indulge in peel-and-eat shrimp, grouper and more. Wash it down with a specialty cocktail on the restaurant’s outdoor seating area, with amazing views of the water. Once you’ve whet your appetite, be sure to visit Seagar’s Prime Steaks & Seafood, one of the finest dining establishments in the area and the only AAA Four-Diamond Steakhouse on the Emerald Coast. Still hungry? We’ve got sushi, seafood, poolside grab-and-go sandwiches and more — a perfect destination for the traveling foodie.
