One of the few beaches open after dark (until 10 p.m.), Red Reef offers swimming, sunbathing, surf casting, and strolling over the dunes along a boardwalk. There’s a designated surfing area on south end. Dine at a dockside restaurant, take a glassbottom boat out to the reef, relax and enjoy the tropical sun. As you travel down the Keys you’ll become more relaxed, your pace will get slower, you’ll linger a while. Florida beach sand consistency in the northwest along Pensacola, and Panama City Beach is fine and very white. Clearwater Beach also shares this same fine and very white texture. North of the county park, side streets of A1A lead to an even more isolated beach.
Residing on the southeastern end of the island and partially capped with a row of scenic cliffs, Ditch Plains is an ocean facing beach (instead of facing the sound). One of the most family-friendly beaches in the country, this up-and-coming hot spot offers all the big-beach fun of Florida and California without the large crowds or high prices. The main attraction is the 60-mile-long area known as the Grand Strand, where kids will have their run of amusement parks, mini-golf courses, water slides, and kooky museums. Split is a port and Croatia’s second largest city situated in central Dalmatia. It is a major transit point to Dalmatian islands and other places on the coast, but also tourist and excursionists destination.
Center of a rapidly urbanizing area, in a region settled by Spanish Franciscans in the 17th century, Daytona Beach is a popular year-round resort, now noted as a spring-break mecca for collegians. Its economy has diversified to include aerospace industries. Daytona Beach is a Florida getaway that doesn’t put on airs. It’s a place where you can relax and enjoy yourself at your own speed. And surfing’s genesis in Daytona Beach is only one branch removed.
Cocoa Beach is known for its restaurants, whether it’s delicious seafood, Thai, Cuban, Italian, or a steak and fries; you’ll find it here. After dinner, kick back and relax at one of Cocoa Beach’s jazz clubs or beach side cafes. Cocoa Beach is a smaller beach town with a population of only slightly over 12,000 people. Many of the residents are families with someone who is working for the space program, with Cocoa Beach located only fifteen minutes away from the Kennedy Space Center. The Courtyard Cocoa Beach is extremely proud as this summer revealed the opening of a new meeting facility - a spacious 6,500 sq.ft. Whether you are having a luncheon, seminar, sales meeting, awards ceremony, or a formal celebration, the professional planning and catering staff will ensure that everything runs smoothly.
The following Florida beaches offer discount vacation packages during the fall and winter months, when crowds thin and the weather is comfortably cooler:
Panama City Beach: More than 20,000 lodging options provide Panama City with something in every price range. With dolphins cruising just off the shore and pure white sand for miles, you’ll never want to leave.
Clearwater: The million plus annual visitors ensure Clearwater will always have plenty of lodging. Clean beaches and spectacular sunsets make a day at the beach the ultimate Clearwater experience.
Think Cocoa Beach and you may think space shuttles and world class beaches. If you do - you’re right on the money. Cocoa Beach is a family-friendly town with prices so low, it make great sense to headquarter here for your Florida vacation instead of Orlando. That’s what we did when we wanted to see the nearby Kennedy Space Center yet catch the Cirque du Soleil show at Downtown Disney that night in Orlando. The drive is like one CD long - and then you’re there.
