Cool PCB Spring Break 411!!!

Well...........since this will be my 3rd year coming down to PCB, thought Id give all you newbies some info. on where to go and what to do! First off, the 2 best hotels to stay in are the Boardwalk Beach Resort and the Holiday Inn Sunspree. Both are big party hotels and student friendly. The clubs to hit up are spinnakers, club lavela, sharky's, Hammerhead Fred's, and Latitudes! All offer something different but its a must that you hit everyone one of them! Best place to eat hands down is a small little place called the Beach BBQ!! Its located right diaginal from the Ramada Inn! Best place to party at during the day would be behind the Boardwalk beach resort, which is right beside club lavela, or behind the holiday inn sunspree. Both places are rockin during the day. Plenty of contests and free give aways!! You can drink on the beach, but NO glass is allowed on the beach! Thats about all you really need to know. Ohh yea, one more thing, if you are 21, dont bother with the "Gold Card" for the clubs, it a rip off!! Almost every club in PCB will offer a free drink special like free beer from 7-9 every night, so get there early, get your hand stamped, drink some free beer, then head back to your hotel to pre party until you do want to go out!! If you are under 21, then maybe the gold card is for you! Think thats about it, if you have any questions about anything at all, you can email me at jdalspaugh@hotmail.com , and you can check out some of my pics from last years trip at my website, www.angelfire.com/nd/JasonAlspaugh , Im also on the video link here, under 2003 videos, contest winner Jason, so check that out as well!! See you all in 120 days from today!!!! Enjoy

Jason

Yes

Yes, to answer your question, the bars are very strict. If you have a fake id, one of two things will happen. One, you will be arrested, or two, it will be taken from you and you will not be allowed in the club. So, my best advise is pay someone to go buy you stuff, get hammered before you go out, thats the safe way to do it!! Enjoy

Other Info.

Just some other key notes I have remembered. Do's and Dont's

DO's:
-Beach Parties behind Lavela and the Boardwalk during the day
-Eat at the Beach BBQ
-Shop around
-Have a blast(get drunk,naked, ect........)

DONT's:
-Do NOT use a fake ID, you will get it taken away and may get arrested!!
-IN my opinion, the beach bashes are a waste of time, unless you go to the sharky's one. They sucked last year, big waste of money!!
-The Gold Cards were also a waste, but I didnt do it, so I didnt wast a thing. If you are 21, most clubs offer free beer from 7-9 every night with free cover, get your hand stamped, drink some free beer, and then leave and pre party until you want to come back. If you ARE UNDER 21, the gold card might be a better deal for you!

I think thats about it really, use your heads and all is good! See you all in 101 days from today, enjoy

Hehe. Fake ID's won't get you far in PCB... PCB police & local security are highly trained at spotting them. Its no joke. I wouldn't even try...

Here's what happened last year... (an article from our local Newspaper The News Herald)

A lot of the hotels i've looked at on the internet say that at least one person must be 25, how strict are they on that?? The Boardwalk is already full, what are some good hotels close to the Boardwalk? Any suggestons would be awesome! Thanx!

what?

You do NOT have to be 25! If you are under 25, they require a 200 dollar damage deposite upon arrival, then if your room is still intact at the end of your stay, you get your money back! And No, the Boardwalk isnt full yet, but it is getting there!! So, Id check back with them if I was you!! 1-800-224-GULF , enjoy
