Ever wonder what your children do during spring break? Shocking pictures reveal the outrageous antics of college students gone wild at 'largest beach party on the planet'

These pictures show just what happens when 60,000 college students descend on South Padre Island, Texas for their annual Spring Break, a non-stop orgy of drinking and partying.

For days on end they assemble at the notorious Coca-Cola beach for sun, sand, sea and no parents in sight at what the Travel Channel has called 'the biggest beach party on the planet'.

MailOnline has discovered that the carnage is so bad that it needs a 32-bed mobile hospital to deal with the wreckage.


In one day alone, there there were more than 60 casualties including at least 15 people who had taken drugs.


Among them was a girl of 19 who 'freaked out' while on ecstasy.

Dozens more, many of whom were underage, had drunk too much and either passed out or collapsed in the arms of medics.



Padre, as it is known, was recently voted the second most trashy Spring Break destination by Code Magazine (Las Vegas was first) and it wasn’t hard to see why.


The mood could be summed up by the T-shirts on sale in the stores, all of which were in garish neon capitals.


They ranged from:‘You only live once’, to the partygoers’ manifesto: ‘Alcohol and Molly (another word for ecstasy) and party and sluts.’


Another bestseller reads: ‘Don’t tell your madre what happened in Padre.’

Over the last weekend there were things obvious to even the most casual observer that would make any parent deeply concerned.


But what was perhaps most shocking was the attitude of the authorities - who seem compromised by the huge amount of money that the partying brings to their economy.


Coca-Cola beach sits in front of the Isla Grand Hotel on what should be a picturesque part of the Texas coast on the border with Mexico.


Instead it is littered with rubbish including thousands of discarded beer cans which are collected at the end of each day by Mexican immigrants (they get 65 cents a pound for the recycling, one told me with a smile).


Given that cocktails cost up to $9.50 each in the bars, the culture is all about drinking on the beach, which the local authorities have helpfully authorized.

That puts them in the bizarre position of having thousands of underage girls and boys breaking the law under their nose, but anyone who brings glass on the beach gets a $500 fine.


Partygoers stock up on beer and liquor at stores like Ben's Liquor where you can get 1.75 liters of 40 per cent proof vodka for $11.99.


They buy a beer bong for 99c at a beachfront store and then head to stage where they dance around to‘heart-thumping music.’
