The Beach Goers Dream State

Florida is a beach goers dream state. Nearly every beach along the Florida coast are breathtaking. Millions of tourist and residents enjoy the warm waters of Florida’s beach each year to partake in its water sports, shelling, to explore its marine life and to just soak up the Florida Sun. Many of these beach goers find themselves enjoying these top 5 Florida Beaches:

Morro Bay, CA

My personal favorite would have to be Naples Beach. Here there are thousands drawn to its pearly white sandy shores on the regular. Not only are these beachgoers blown away by the beauty of the waves but they are stuck in awe of the brilliant mansions that make up Millionaires’ Row. Found in Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park you can enjoy a day at the beach with luxurious amenities of bathhouses, food stands, and rentals for your fun in the sun as well as aquatic adventures.

Another favorite is South Beach. While this one is not a family friendly beach it is a great place for those comfortable with exposing a little more of themselves, if you catch my drift. The South Beach area in general supports an amazing nightlife to go along with its amazing sandy shores. The way many explain South Beach is to think of “Baywatch” and you’re there. So if you want to go on a nice run on the beach or sunbathe topless stop at South Beach to soak up the Florida Sun on this long manmade beach.

Key West, or as I call it paradise, is an amazing beach to enjoy the Florida sunshine. Fort Zachary Taylor State Park is one of Florida’s most beautiful locations, you can enjoy the sugar sand and calming waters here. You can rent snorkel gear or a 2-person glass-bottomed kayak from the concession area to get a full marine experience in key west.

Miami Beach

With more than 14 miles of beach on a half-mile-wide island you will find the right spot to enjoy the Florida sunshine in Palm Beach. Here you will be able to enjoy the warm blue waters on the Gulf Stream. You can choose a nice nature walk in Palm Beach or you can explore the deep blues marine life.

If you love shells just as I do then Captiva Island is the perfect beach for you to visit on your next trip to Florida. Captiva Island is known for being 1 of Florida’s Shell Islands. Here you can find large, beautiful and intact shells.
