SUMMERS ON THE BEACH was a legendary beach bar and concert venue founded in 1980 by Suzanne and Allan Migdall. The beachfront nightclub was one of the iconic party spots on the Fort Lauderdale “Strip” during the height of college Spring Break madness. The outrageous pool parties, cheap drinks, and wild round-the-clock rowdiness took off in the 1960s, following the release of the book and movie Where the Boys Are, and peaked in 1985, when some 400,000 students reportedly descended upon the town. As a Spring Break hotspot, Summers was heralded as South Florida’s “Home of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” with live bands nightly, a DJ spinning music between sets, and national acts performing year-round.
