Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park, Key West
If you’re searching for sunny days and calm waters, it doesn’t get much warmer than the shores of the state’s southernmost point: Key West.
You can pass your time here at Smathers or Higgs Beach, but it’s hard to beat Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park for calm waters and vast stretches of sand.
Spend your afternoon swimming and snorkeling before taking a break to check out the park’s pre-Civil War fortress. If you can’t sit still, you’ll find nature trails and water sport rentals nearby, including a glass-bottom boat.
Approximately a half-mile long, the largest public beachfront in Florida’s Key West is Smathers Beach. The island’s south side is very much worth your time, thanks to its beauty.
Smathers Beach is the perfect location for getting a tan, and it encourages activities like paddleboarding and kayaking. It features fine sands, crystal clear water, and a friendly atmosphere.

Odd choices except maybe one or two.
ANA MARIE ISLAND
AMELIA ISLAND
SANIBEL while gorgeous, was trashed by the last storm.
No one should be visiting FL anyway. If you do, make sure you do not bring a book or the dictionary.
I have heard from a fellow visitor, the exact same response.
Please explain to me why people should not visit Florida? Why should visitors not bring a book or a dictionary?
No, Sanibel is not as beautiful as it was before the last devastating hurricane. However, there are still lots of things to do and experience on Sanibel Island. I have lived in FL for twenty-five years and have traveled to many places in Florida. Sanibel is both beautiful but also has a wonderful community spirit, beautiful beaches and welcoming people. I am certain that you would not like your state judged by one unpleasant experience.
AGREED…………WAAAAAAAAAY TOO HUMID IN FLORIDA………..
And why is that? Just because yiu don’t want to go, doesn’t mean others dont.
What about Lido Beach in Sarasota, FL
