What's your favorite FL beach town, and why?
Vote for the best beach town in Florida
I have to go with the panhandle and P'cola . I went to college in Melbourne, Stewart and Sarasota, and alto they all have great attributes, but I still gravitate to the expanse of Panama City area and Pensacola for beautiful beaches.
Depends on my mood and what I want from the beach experience.
I do love that fine, soft, sugar like, white sand there!Quote:

I don't do Florida. I like Hawaii, Mexico and Southern California beaches.
Guess I am focusing on the 'town' rather than the 'beach' aspect of the best beach town in Florida question.Quote:

Pensacola and the adjacent areas have the most beautiful beaches in the state.
kyshel - Stewart or Stuart? I am unaware of a Stewart in Florida.Quote:

Come on, kyshel! Don't whine about those little critters. They don't eat much. I should know, I get covered in them when I am cleaning up my boat after fishing our of Key Largo.
Oh, btw, 41 years ago, there must have been only 50 or 60 people living in Stuart, Florida. What kind of school was there in those days?
