June 18, 20197 yr Grew up near the Delaware Beaches and Ocean City, MD, so for pure nostalgia purposes, they are still my favorite beaches. We keep going back to the Gulf Shores area, so those beaches are one of my favorite places to go. Spent quite a bit of time in my formative years at Ocean City, as my mother’s family was all from the Eastern Shore.
June 18, 20197 yr I could spend part of every day at the beach, weather permitting. One if these days I probably will.
June 19, 20197 yr St. Pete, Panama City, Destin and others on the gulf coast all have beautiful soft white sand beaches. All are much nicer than east coast beaches with coarse darker sand. Florida gulf coast beaches, in my opinion, are nicer than Hawaiian beaches which have a lot of hard rough lave mixed in. I am with you here. Love the Destin area beaches! And definitely nicer sand than Hawaii beaches. 2nd favorite is the beaches in Cancun.
June 19, 20197 yr Miami Beach : Gulfstream Park Dania Jai-Alai Haulover Pier Great Italian Restaurants
June 19, 20197 yr Not a huge ocean/sea fan because salt water is garbage, so it’s more about memories when comparing. Cocoa Beach and the annual trips my HS baseball team took is my preference, despite only spending a few hours each year there. The Outer Banks, Myrtle, and Destin bring back great memories. Was talking about Myrtle today in fact.
June 19, 20197 yr Been to a lot, but probably prefer Orange Beach over the rest. What say you? Without a doubt, hands down. I can sit on the beach with my wife, kids, cooler and bake in the sun all day everyday, but especially down there.
June 19, 20197 yr I could spend part of every day at the beach, weather permitting. One if these days I probably will. When I lived in Indian Rocks, I spent everyday on the beach for nearly 3 years. Believe it or not, it can get old. Even for a young man, which I was back then. Now that the doctors are finding skin cancer on my person, from being out on the beach so much those many years ago, it makes me regret those days. Not entirely, though, I had a blast for quite a time.
June 19, 20197 yr I've been to Gulf Shores, PCB, Destin, Madeira, Clearwater, and Daytona. Destin was my favorite followed by PCB due to the clear water. However, beyond the beach, I liked Gulf Shores and Madeira due to the lack of crowds. We're headed to Pensacola Beach this summer, so we'll see how that is.
June 19, 20197 yr Every morning, weather permitting, we go to a little place called Crescent Beach when we visit my parents in St. Augustine. Small, never crowded, you can still drive on it if you want. A few miles south of SA; a straight shot west eventually takes you to Gainesville. Not because it's a spectacular beach; it has just evolved into "our place".
June 22, 20197 yr I live in Pass-a-Grille, which is St Pete Beach and love it. It is second only to Po‘olenalena Beach in Maui. Not because the sand is nicer, but because the snorkeling is incredible.
