Siesta Key<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

Siesta Key is known for its sandy beaches and friendly locals. Beautiful white sands and clear water make for an ideal escape for a couple looking for romance, or a family looking to escape the Disney or Panama City crowds. Prevalent sunshine and gentle coastal breezes should be expected daily. Sounds incredible, right? Well, it is. With well over 300 sunny days per year, you\u2019d be hard pressed to visit Siesta Key at a \u201cbad time\u201d. Make sure to pack your bathing suit! The warm gulf waters are perfect for boogie boarding and bodysurfing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marco Island<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

Grab your beach chair, your sunblock, and your volleyball set and come to Marco Island. For those who love the sand and the sun, while also staying out of the craziness of Florida\u2019s \u201ctraditional\u201d locales, Marco Island can\u2019t be beat. Along with nearby Naples and The Everglades, this area is dubbed the \u201cParadise Coast\u201d and with good reason.\u00a0<\/span>Hunt for seashells, build a sand castle or take a fan boat through the Everglades to experience southern Florida\u2019s amazing ecosystem. There is so much to do here!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Islamorada<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

Sunny, friendly Islamorada is a smart choice for those who want an escape<\/span> from the hustle and bustle of the major Florida hot spots. Islamorada emcompasses six islands, each surrounded by serene ocean and soft sands.\u00a0<\/span>It is easy to get to from Miami International Airport or Key West Airport. Once you\u2019ve arrived, island hopping via boat is a fun way to see the entire area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Treasure Island<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

In the middle of it all, but offering a world of its own. Treasure Island got its name from a hotelier with a flair for the dramatic. He buried a \u201ctreasure\u201d in the sand, then \u201cdiscovered\u201d it and told anyone who would listen. The name stuck. Visitors love its central Gulf Coast location. There are also major theme parks that are only a short drive away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anna Maria Island<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

The laid back Anna Maria Island has little to no car traffic, and a peaceful way of life. That\u2019s right, you won\u2019t find any chain restaurants or high-rise, view-blocking buildings here. And oh, the beaches! They are pristine, with white sands and blue waters. This is the perfect spot to unwind. Bring a great book and enjoy the sunshine, as well as, great shopping and restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Smyrna Beach<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

Ever been to Florida\u2019s Central Atlantic Coast? Think white sandy shorelines and charming little beach towns. You\u2019ll find all that and more in New Smyrna. This area is rooted in local culture and that shines through in the cozy downtown area with shops, art museums, and coastal architecture galore. There is also a cool<\/span> drivable beach, lots of eco-tourism, and unique history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Miramar Beach<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

Step back in time at Miramar Beach. This beautiful destination in Florida is “old Florida” at its finest. This location offers beautiful white sand beaches, tons of great shopping including laid back surf shops to high end retail and lots of outdoor adventures like jet skiing and parasailing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sanibel Island<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

Sanibel\u2019s geographic location makes it ideal for shelling. They boast having some of the most rare and unique shells to find and collect. There are endless activities out on the water, like kayaking, boat tours, and golf. This is a must-visit for a family trip, couples retreat or really any type of vacation!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
