Best Beaches

With 1,100 miles of beaches, it’s no wonder Florida has one to suit every visitor.

Best Beach for Birding: Shell Key, St. Pete Beach (877-352-3224, www.floridasbeach.com) More than half of the 180-acre Shell Key is a bird sanctuary, but the beaches are accessible to human visitors. There are no buildings, no trash, no cars or telephone lines, just coconut palms, Australian pines, white sandy beaches lined with gentle, clear emerald surf and dunes topped with sea oat whiskers.

Best Tropical Beach : Bahia Honda State Park (305-872-3210, www.floridastateparks.org) park, palms wave in the breeze over pristine, sandy beaches. Widely considered to have the Keys’ best beaches, Bahia Honda Key is a sheer tropical heaven, with mild, clear water and more than one lush and cozy beach from which to choose.

Best Beach for Surfing: Sebastian Inlet State Park (321-984-4852, www.floridastateparks.org) Sebastian Inlet , south of Melbourne Beach , is the capital of East Coast surfing. The waves along this three-mile stretch of beach divided by the Sebastian River are consistent, hollow and fast. If any surf is breaking on the East Coast of Florida, it will be at Sebastian Inlet .
