It's No Surprise Why These Florida Beaches are Always Ranked in the Top Beaches to Travel to...
Hundreds of beaches. How do you pick the best Florida beaches you ask?
We are going to travel to some of the best places on earth - some so wonderful that Peter Pan himself wouldn't believe it.
From the beaches in the Florida Panhandle to Florida's West Coast Gulf beaches, there are so many great choices that it is near impossible to narrow them down.
Even if you venture to the eastern shores (beaches along A1A highway Florida) down the coast, all the way to the Key West Florida beaches, you can not go wrong.
Heaven awaits as you embark on a journey with us to visit the best beaches Florida has to offer.....
What's your fancy for holidays to Florida? If you're like me and want waves to play in, take your pick of the best Florida beaches with great ocean breaks. You'll wake up to the sounds of the ocean excited about about the crack of dawn instead of dreading it to enjoy the first moments of each day.
My wife, on the other hand, loves the relaxation of the calm seas crashing against the shores, while enjoying the Florida sun (ie. suntanning on the beach.) Lay out for hours and take in the rays as you whisk away your problems.
Whether you like walking up and down the coast picking upseashells (there are excellent beaches for shelling in Florida), playing in the Florida sugar sand beaches, or enjoying beautiful sunsets, all of these are just small parts of what the best rate Florida beaches offer.
Of course we could go on and on, and we haven't even mentioned other things to do in Florida yet, but we'll get to that shortly.

Here are the favorite picks for the Best Florida Beaches...
Beaches in the Florida Panhandle!
Destin is our top choice for the panhandle - for good reason.
It has to rank high in our best Florida beaches anywhere.
Fort Walton Beach is another one of Florida's finest beaches.
There is plenty to do and enjoy. What more can you ask for? White sandy beaches and relaxation from sun up to sun down.
The beaches are so spectacular, there is plenty to do during the day and night, and other than what you may have heard, Panama City Beach is a great vacation spot for college students or families.
Tip: Googs says if you are going to one of the beaches in Panama City Florida for a quiet family vacation make sure to stay away during spring break (March through April).
Pensacola and its many surrounding beaches are also an excellent option - we have not been there in some time, but you can be sure you'll get first class beaches in Pensacola.
These beaches in Northeast Florida are great vacation spots with plenty to do for everyone. In between each of these beaches (and all beaches mentioned here) are some hidden beaches of Florida that you could discover and build memories upon. So don't be hesitant to explore.
One of our best Florida beaches here is the Clearwater Beach/St. Petersburg/Tampa area. Breathtaking is all I have to say.
Madeira Beach, Siesta Key/Sarasota, Sanibel Island, and Bradenton are three other fabulous beaches you will absolutely love.
There are about 30 different beaches, ranging up the coast, to choose from.
But, of all the Florida beaches we've been to, Clearwater Beach is our choice!! If you don't know why you'll want to read more about Clearwater and when you visit, you'll see why we rave about it.
As you travel further south you'll find Ft. Myers Beach with
Sanibel Island, and Naples.
One of the unknown beaches my parents rave about is Englewood. This beach is
quiet, but offers so much if you're looking for maximum relaxation.
Atlantic Coast & Beaches Along A1A Highway in Florida...
Following highway A1A, you'll begin north at Jacksonville, head down to St. Augustine (the oldest town in Florida), to Cocoa Beach and Daytona, all the way to West Palm Beach and Miami, the Atlantic Coast of Florida offers nothing but breathtaking beaches.
I think that I have visited more beaches on the Atlantic Coast than anywhere else in Florida. They have been a lot of fun, offer soooo much, and provide a different type of vacation every time!! If you can't find your dream vacation here, you aren't looking in the right place!
The Allure of the Key West Florida Beaches & Florida Keys...
The Keys are gorgeous - bar none - gorgeous. We took a day trip there from Miami and wished we could've stayed a month.
My in-laws spent the last week of December there one year to get away from the cold weather in the northern states and absolutely raved about it (you can find their story at the first Keys link below).
Come with us and see why the Key West Florida beaches are what vacationing is all about and why we pick them as one of the best Florida beaches!
