The further south you go in Florida, the warmer.During the winter, the warm weather (low 80 s) and swimming in warmer water (mid 70 s) will be limited to the southeast coast of Florida, near the ocean current of the warm Gulf Stream. All beaches between Miami Beach and West Palm Beach are fine. The livelier beaches are in lower Miami Beach and the beach at Fort Lauderdale. Most other beaches are less busy and some, like beautiful Delray Beach, are relatively quiet. However, if you re traveling from some forbidden place like Minnesota or Finland, you can consider most any beach on either coast of South Florida right up your alley. You can also include the slightly cooler weather (80-ish) and cooler waters (low 70 s) at the beaches on the southwest coast of the state, like Marco Island, Naples, and Bonita Springs. The waters have a calmer, more tropical look to them. And you can just sit in your beach chair, wiggling your toes in the sand, and watch the sun set over the water.
If you want all of the hoopla and traffic that goes with it, Miami is it hands down. If you are looking for this advise here, you won t be getting in clubs with velvet ropes in SoBe, so save the money and think else where. If you want white sand and less people, Clearwater on the Gulf is very nice with a range of accomodations. If you are driving from the north and want to save some vacation time, try Panama City or that stretch. Possibly the prettiest Florida beach is Destin with it s dunes. Good luck.
The Gulf Coast part of Florida is beautiful the South West part you can go to Fort Myers Beach,Sanibel island,Captiva island,Marco Island take your pick out of these great beaches.
south beach but stay away from ocean drive, i suggest a nice resort like the W hotel, water is warm here now. Miami beach is still the best beach in the nation! ocean like a swimming pool and warm!
You want Miami Beach. Miles and miles of beach, miles and miles of hotels.
Anywhere from Palm Beach County south on the east coast from Clearwater south on the west coast.
for sure pensacola beach is the nicest beach there..
