Sometimes you just want to chill on your spring getaway, and stay far, far away from around-the-clock partying, frat antics and general recklessness that conjure 2012’s Spring Breakers<\/i>. But that doesn’t mean you have to avoid Florida’s endless miles of beautiful beaches for the entire months of March and April. For a family-friendly spring escape\u2014or if you simply want a nice day at the beach left unruined by girls or guys gone wild\u2014head to one of these super low-key Florida beaches.<\/p>\n

\"Bill

Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Beach<\/p><\/div>\n

1)\u00a0Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Beach<\/a>:<\/strong> Your Miami<\/a> vacation will be turnt-up enough, what with the nightclubs and the designer boutiques and the feeling of \u201cif I sleep, I might miss something.\u201d Build a chill day into your trip, but instead of spending it on bustling South Beach, head to a place where you can actually relax: Key Biscayne. Drive to the tip of the key (along the way, stop by Sir Pizza to pick up a pie), where it\u2019s just you, the sunshine and the lighthouse.<\/p>\n

\"Marco

Marco Island Florida<\/p><\/div>\n

2)\u00a0Marco Island<\/a>:<\/strong> Located between posh Naples<\/a> and the unspoiled Florida Everglades<\/a>, this popular destination offers the best of both worlds — pristine nature with the amenities of a bigger city. From boat tours and campsites to art galleries and luxury resorts, Marco Island offers something for everyone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3)\u00a0Mexico Beach<\/a>:<\/strong> If Panama City Beach<\/a> is Girls Gone Wild<\/i>, then this coastal hamlet\u2014just an hour\u2019s drive to the south\u2014is Girls Gone Mild<\/i>. Instead of keg parties and wet T-shirt contests, the pastimes du jour <\/i>include collecting seashells, watching dolphins play and dining al fresco at the many waterfront restaurants.<\/p>\n

\"Fort

Fort de Soto<\/p><\/div>\n

4)\u00a0Fort De Soto Park<\/a>:<\/strong> Much more chill than Clearwater Beach to the North, this group of five interconnected islands in St. Petersburg<\/a> is a favorite among couples looking for a quiet picnic spot, as well as history buffs eager to explore the park\u2019s century-old mortar battery. About a 20-minute drive from downtown St. Pete, you\u2019re close enough to check out the Salvador Dali Museum, take in a Rays baseball game or have dinner on trendy Beach Drive.<\/p>\n

\"Flagler

Flagler Beach<\/p><\/div>\n

5)\u00a0Flagler Beach<\/a>:<\/strong> Pack your polka dot bikini and Coke-bottle sunglasses for a trip to this retro town located between Daytona Beach<\/a> and historic St. Augustine<\/a>. Surf the Atlantic waves, cruise a rented bicycle along scenic A1A, take in some live music at a rooftop cafe or just enjoy the unobstructed ocean view. With no high rises around, book a stay in a fun vintage-style bungalow.<\/p>\n
