Florida has been blessed with some of the world's most
stunning beaches – some sizzle with trendy celebrity crowds and a hopping nightlife;
while others offer pristine, untouched shorelines and eco-logical treasures just
waiting to be explored.
Florida Beaches Guide lets you navigate with
ease, according to Florida region or through the Florida Beaches alphabetically.
Plus, you can click on one of our top 10 lists – Spring Break, Snowbirds, Nude,
Family, Eco Tourist, Water Sports, Best Value, Gay, Nightlife or Best Wedding
Beaches - to discover specifically what Florida's beaches have in store just for
you!
Theme Park:- As the sky began to sprinkle with rain, the
part-time Disney employee surprised her out-of-town guests. “Time to hit the parks!”
she announced. Her insider tip to head to the theme parks just as the skies opened
up proved visionary. As our group headed in, throngs headed out, and the light
rain didn’t deter rides – or last long.
Busch Gardens:- Busch Gardens
Tampa Bay may be named after the suds-producing breweries, but adrenaline is the
most potent intoxicant this thrill-heavy theme park produces. Exotic animals abound
for young park-hoppers, but Busch’s strength lies also in its corkscrews, 360-degree
loops and scream-inducing speeds.
Florida's Water Parks:- As the
land of endless summer, it’s no surprise that Florida is home to more water parks
than anywhere else in the United States. Recently, my kids and I spent our summer
testing out wave pools, sliding down speedy slopes, bobbing on man-made rivers
and generally beating the heat while having an awesome time. | |

Top Beaches |  |
| |
 Jensen Beach |
|
Scuba divers can explore
shipwrecks and artificial reefs just offshore, while those wishing to stay above
water will find opportunities for fishing plentiful. |
|
|
| Miami Beach |
|
Miami Beach was an ailing
fruit farm in the 1910s when its Quaker owner, John Collins, formed an unlikely
partnership with a flashy entrepreneur, Carl Fisher. . |
|
|
| Palm Beach |
|
Summer in Palm Beach is
very quiet, and the least costly time to stay. The winter months, from November
to May, see a whirl of elegant balls, fundraising dinners and charity galas, as
well as the polo season - watching a chukka or two is the only time Palm Beach
denizens show themselves in the less particular environs of West Palm Beach (on
the mainland). |
|
|
| Fort
Walton Beach |
|
Do your loafing on the
white sands of Okaloosa Island, joined to the mainland by the high-rise Brooks
Bridge over Santa Rosa Sound. Most resort hotels and amusement parks are grouped
around the Gulfarium marine park on U.S. 98, east of the bridge. |
|
|
Daytona
Beach  |
|
Life in this down-to-earth resort now revolves around
three major festivals: February's Daytona 500, Bike Week in early March, and the
relatively new Biketoberfest. |
|
|
| Cocoa
Beach |
|
Play a round of golf at our 27-hole golf course, surf
cast from the beach for dinner or just enjoy a day at the beach where you will
likely see dolphins at play or be lucky enough to see an occasional whale in migration. |
|
|
| Clearwater Beach |
|
Clearwater Beach is a vacationer's paradise. In addition
to some of the most beautiful, broad beaches on Florida's Gulf Coast, you'll find
all the water-oriented recreation you can imagine and lots of outdoor activities
in the Clearwater area. |
|
|
| Pompano Beach |
|
The Hillsboro Lighthouse
can be easily spotted from Pompano's ambulating roadways and paths along 3.5 miles
of golden beachfront, sounding a beacon for the millions of visitors every year
that are drawn to the excitement and accessibility of one of Broward County's
gems. |
|
|
| Panama
City Beach |
| This beach is entirely without pretension, but it capitalizes
blatantly on the appeal of its 27-mile stretch of white sand. |
|
|
| Navarre |
| This is the longest continuous
stretch of protected beach in Northwest Florida, perfect for sun seekers, birdwatchers
and shutterbugs. |
