My favorite Florida Beach

[waqyum]

If you are planning for a trip to Florida don't miss St Pete's Beach.
I like it because it is relatively calm since it's on the gulf side. Close to Busch Gardens, TB Devil Rays if you want to do a ball game. Just an ice area with good restaurants and a variety of price ranges. Disney is also manageable from there. Have Fun!

Great choice! And between Clearwater Beach, St. Pete's Beach, Fort DeSoto Beach (always ranked high), Siesta Key in Sarasota. All great beaches and lots to do in and around the area besides sun, sand and water.

I haved lived in Florida now for 24 years. My favorite beach is Sand Key Beach before the Clearwater Bridge. I walk to the north end by the rocks. I have found so many beautiful shells. Many look brand new like I bought them in a shell store. You have to have a good eye to spot your favorites shells. I love looking for and finding Olive Shells. I can spot augers and oliver shells like nothing. I look at the area that have been looked over, like the shell piles after the high tide goes out. I always find gorgeous shells. Many people don't have an "eye" for shell spotting and walk right over the great shells. I am spoiled as I don't pick up the shells that are broke, have holes in them, or have no shine. Sand Keys Beach has pretty white sand, has the intercoastal to the north-east side and the gulf to the west. We have spotted many dolphins, para-sails, and the pirate dinner boat rides.
