Whether you are planning your next family vacation for the summer or are looking for a last-minute deal to a beachside campsite or resort for some quality and much-needed alone time to rest and recuperate, either way, there are a lot of destinations to choose from.
With this in mind, and to help you whittle down your shortlist, here are the top five beach destinations in Florida.
1. Marco Island
Approximately twenty miles south of the bustling Naples and only accessible by one of two bridges, Marco Island is one of the stand-out beauty spots of the Florida coast and is perfect for couples looking for a relaxed and luxurious stay.
Instead of staying in a pricey and stuffy hotel, you could even look into staying in one of the stunning and vast beachfront campsites in Florida and enjoy a vacation like no other!
2. Delray Beach
Often referred to as the ‘village by the sea’, Delray Beach perfectly combines the intimate and relaxed feel of a small and undeveloped town with the myriad options for entertainment and leisure that a larger town would boast.
The Delray Municipal Beach is the ideal place to paddleboard and snorkel, and if you are staying around this area for more than a couple of days, you should not miss the Morikami Museums and Japanese Gardens.
3. Fort Walton Beach
Situated on the Gulf Coast, Fort Walton Beach is famous for its deep-sea fishing, as well as more than one beautifully designed and spacious aquarium and a dedicated fishing pier.
Fort Walton Beach is perhaps the most well-known beach on Okaloosa Island, but if you and your partner are looking for a quieter and more romantic beach location, nearby John Beasley Park is definitely the right choice for you.
In addition, if you want to spend the day on the beach yet still go for a walk in nature to stretch your legs, not to mention to cool off, then Fort Walton should be at the top of your list due to its numerous picnic areas and natural areas of shade.
4. Clearwater Beach
If you were to ask the average person on the street to name a famous beach in Florida, chances are many of them would say Clearwater Beach as their first answer.
Clearwater Beach has stunning white sand and gentle, turquoise, and azure water, meaning that it gets exceedingly crowded, especially on the weekends and specifically throughout the summer months.
The pier at Clearwater is an impressive one thousand and eight hundred foot long, making it another ideal spot for fishermen and women to spend their evenings.
5. Amelia Island
The fifth and final most stunning and striking beach throughout the entirety of Florida state is the less well-known Amelia Island, which is located approximately thirty miles to the northeast of Jacksonville.
The beaches at Amelia Island are over thirteen miles long and also include the wildlife-rich Amelia Island State Park, as well as the Main Beach Park, the latter full of activities for children to enjoy, as well as volleyball courts and even an outdoor skate park.
