Have a Safe and Healthy Spring Break

March 01, 2024

It’s March, and spring break season is in full swing in the Sunshine State. Whether relaxing on our sandy beaches, enjoying the nightlife, visiting a theme park, or taking in some spring training baseball, here are some tips to help make your trip and enjoyable one:

  • Protect yourself from the sun with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF-15 or higher), broad-brimmed hat, and protective clothing to cover up when you have had enough sun.
  • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
  • Wear insect repellant to avoid mosquito bites.
  • Designate a sober driver or plan to use alternate transportation to get home safely.
  • Use caution during water activities.
  • Check water quality status at beaches by visiting our Healthy Beaches website.

Here’s to an enjoyable spring break.
