The Best Beaches

Some of the most beautiful beaches are located in the state of Florida. It makes perfect sense that so many people like to take a Florida vacation on the beaches of Florida. While the state itself is in between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, it offers over 1200 miles in luxurious beaches that beach lovers will enjoy. With Florida being a peninsula the beaches are only a short drive away from anywhere in the state.

Florida’s beaches offer some wonderful sand to play on and in. The Clearwater area offers a powder like sand on its beaches. This makes the area on of the top beaches in the nation. There is nothing better than walking on a soft powder like beach. Siesta beach is made of %99 quartz and it offers some of the whitest and finest sand in the whole world.

There are beach areas that offer a little more than just fantastic sand to play in. There is the St. George Island State Park for this. It is located on the Apalachicola Bay and offers nine miles of beaches that have not been "developed". There are many dunes here for exploration. So if camping and hiking are also included in the things that you love to do at the beach, this is where you will want to be.

It is not hard to see why some of Florida’s beaches have been voted the best beaches in the world for years and this is one of the reason so many people take Florida vacations. In 2005 three of Florida’s beaches made a top ten beaches list all at one time. Fort De Soto Park won first place offering a series of islands with miles and miles of beaches. There are plenty of docks for boating activities and fishing and there are many campgrounds here. At the same time Caladesi Island State Park was given fourth place on that list with Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park near Miami Beach was give eighth place.
