With a coastline that stretches some 360 miles, the Sunshine’s State’s east coast beaches offer a diverse array of sun-and-sand options. On the other hand the scores of Gulf Coast beaches beckon travelers with promises of emerald waters, brilliant white beaches, picturesque sand dunes with waving sea oats and excellent nature hikes. We leave it totally up to you!
