Florida Beaches Offer a Variety of Activities and Settings
Posted on | December 15, 2009 | 9 Comments
Florida’s top beaches on the Atlantic coast feature an ever changing seascape. Unlike Gulf coast beaches, one day the ocean could be flat as glass, the next day thunderous waves will be crashing the beach. It’s always different and another reason the beach lifestyle is exciting, sometimes too exciting with tropical storms and hurricanes just over the horizon.
dflorida.com/Cocoa_Beach_Florida/”>Cocoa Beach is known as the small wave capital of the world, it’s a place where long boarders are kings and also the home of Ron Jon Surf Shop. The Cocoa Beach Pier is a great place to soak up the rays and quench your thirst with a tropical drink.
Palm Beach is home of many of the rich and famous, but the beach along South Ocean Blvd has a tropical hue that is unique.
If you like driving on the beach, Daytona Beach is the place with its touristy flair. Daytona is also home of Bike Week. If you are looking to escape the crowds and see the natural beauty of the beach, head down to nearby Ponce Inlet, the change is both drastic and welcome.
If watersports are more to your liking, head down to Sebastian Inlet State Park on the Florida Space Coast, there you’ll find surfing, skimboarding, snorkeling and fishing.
South Beach Miami is all the rage with it international flavor, spectacular nightlife and some of the best restaurants like Mango’s, a Latin dance bar where professional dancers perform on top of the bar.
Jupiter Florida is located at the mouth of an inlet, close by is Dubois Park, and a great place to bring the family and enjoy the water.
Though not really on the Atlantic but in the Florida Straights, Smathers Beach in Key West is popular with the younger party set. The seas are usually calm as this beach resembles Gulf coast beaches. Watercraft, sailboat and beach gear rentals are available.
Florida beaches offer a variety of environmental surroundings, some are natural settings and some touristy, but whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it in Florida.

Try any of the beaches between LA and San Diego in California. There are a lot of them and you can just pick a beach and see if you like it. The weather in southern California at this time of year is almost always great! No worry about major hurricanes etc. It is where I would pick if I had to go. You can also find a larger hotel that is located on the beach where they will serve drinks poolside or for you to carry down to the ocean's beach!

10 hours away by car is Myrtle Beach North Carolina. Loads of young people go there for Spring break.
I stayed at a campground with tent and trunk full of camping things, with my girlfriend…. a long time ago.
There is no beach that is 5 hours away, except maybe Lake ERIE straight North. Don't overlook the little islands there (Put in Bay) that are also a great hangout for college students. between Toledo and Cleveland, but more to the west. ISLANDS!!

I avoid beaches with my kids but I can help with the flights. I'm an ex-F/A and I fly with my three between Europe and California about every six months, plus shorter trips in between.
For such short flights, it wont be a problem with the ears. Just visit the ped before leaving to be sure he doesn't have an ear infection and otherwise, hís ears should be fine. It's a myth that they have to drink or suck on take-off and landing. Ear problems are highly overrated.
He'll be safer and everyone will be more comfortable if you can bring your carseat and see if you can use it on board in an empty seat. Wont you need it at your destination anyway? (Never risk car company seats, they can be expired, nasty, the wrong size, etc.). Double check that your carseat is FAA certified. Most are in the U.S.
On check in, ask how full the flight is and ask if you can be seated with an empty place besides you.
I go into way more detail in an article I wrote and placed on a blog for all parents to see. It's totally non-commercial and written to help out other parents (and my ex-coworkers, if parents have fewer concerns!)

Have a good trip and be careful with your little guy and that hot Florida sun!

If it is 1200 mile and your jeep gets 20 mile to the gallon you will need 60 gallon to get you there, and at 3.00 a gallon it will cost you 180 one way ,360 round trip…….this is for example…..find out how many mile it really is and how many mile you get to the gallon and that will give you a good idea.

I'm not sure a group of 18/19 year old guys want to go to NYC for the theater and Shakespeare…
Head down to Myrtle Beach or Fort Lauderdale. If you want to check out the west coast, go to San Diego. Plenty of nightlife in all of those cities, and more to do than just hang out at the beach.

Baseball plays "games," not matches.
You want to be there at least a half hour before game time.
Give yourself an hour from SoBe, especially if it's a weekday, it will be rush hour. If you get there early, no problem; you can watch practice & there's other stuff to see & do.
It will be better to simply go directly there from whatever part of the Everglades you are at. You can take the Expressway or Turnpike & it will take a little longer than the trip from SoBe. There is no reason to make the long traffic jammed trip back to the the Beach & then back to Miami.
