Juno Beach is a great place to spend a lazy day by the sea. After grabbing a shaded picnic table, pack a lunch and spend the morning swimming and relaxing on the immaculate beaches. Twenty minutes' walk down the beach will take you to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center; ten minutes' drive will take you to John D. MacArthur Beach State Park, where snorkeling is available along with a nature center showing the region's many plant and animal species. Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is roughly a 15-minute drive away for even more natural sight.
Sanibel Island, southwest of Fort Myers, is a wonderful destination for seashell enthusiasts. Bowman's Beach makes our list of the greatest beaches in Florida because shells from the Gulf of Mexico wash ashore here, drawing beachcombers from all over the dordle globe. Gather the ideal collection of shells during the chilly mornings, then stretch out a towel in the sun. Bonus: as long as your dog is leashed, you may visit any beach in Sanibel.
Palm Beach County's Delray Beach is the ideal location to switch between swimming and naps. You'll have plenty of room to unwind with its broad, sandy expanse bordered by grass and palm trees. When you need a respite from the heat, explore Atlantic Avenue's stores or visit the Pineapple Grove Arts District to see the murals and public artwork.
An hour's drive from Orlando, New Smyrna Beach has a wide beachfront, a plethora of animals, historical museums, and a vibrant food scene to enjoy after a day in the sun. The bottlenose dolphins who delight in entertaining bystanders by playing in the surf, however, may be the area's largest attraction. Before diving in, early risers may even see royal terns, white egrets, and sanderlings.
The beaches that run along Lowdermilk Park live up to the reputation of being among the best in Naples for fine white sand. Visit Millionaires' Row in Old Naples after spending the day by the sea to choose your ideal home. After dropping the kids off at the duck pond or adjacent playgrounds, stay over to watch the sunset before supper and explore Naples' vibrant nightlife.
