Soft white sands, clear blue seas
Florida boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the whole of the United States including the very best one of all in Sarasota
Once you have stepped on the beautiful white beaches of Florida and swum in the crystal-clear blue sea, you will know that you have chosen the best place in the world to holiday. With water on three sides of the state, there’s about 1,800 miles of coastline and 825 miles of America’s best beaches. That’s official because
‘Dr. Beach’ says so. Coastal expert Dr. Stephen Leather- man lists the Top 10 beaches every year and Florida always features strongly. His most recent list saw Sarasota’s Siesta Key
scoop the number one slot, so be sure not to miss lying on the pure quartz, fine powdery sand that, even under Florida’s blazing sun, is cool to the feet. The public beach watched over by lifeguards,
with watersports galore, gazebos and picnic areas, is located on Florida’s Gulf of Mexico on the West Coast, just 45 minutes from Tampa and
one and a half hours from Orlando. One of the greatest things about taking
a break in Florida is that you are never more than a three-hour drive from a beach. And there is one to suit everyone - whether
“You have chosen the best place in the world”
you are active and want watersports and beach activities or lazy and want to be left alone to lie on a sunbed reading, drinking a cooling cocktail or listening to your favourite music. If you are a couple wanting to hold hands on the sand
watching the sun go down or a family who want to build sandcastles in the sunshine, you will find your beach here, too. Where do you start looking? Well, why
not at the very top of stocking-shaped Florida on the northwest coast. Sun-kissed waters, more than 27C (80F) in the summer, lap onto over 100 miles of beaches protected by the Gulf Islands National Seashore.
