They’re here. 

With the sun shining and the water temperature in the mid-60s, spring breakers have made their way to the Emerald Coast. 

Thursday afternoon, spring breakers from Auburn University, Virginia Tech and Baylor University of Texas were enjoying the beach.  

The temperature in Destin was in the mid-70s on Thursday while the Gulf of Mexico was in the 60s.

Although people could be seen on the beach to the east and west, Tarpon Beach Access in Destin as well as Crystal Beach was a hot spot for the spring visitors. 

This group of sorority sisters from Auburn University pose for a few photos on the beach Thursday.

Most said they have been here all week and will be leaving this weekend, as another wave of spring breakers will pour in.
