Siesta Key Public Beach<br />
It’s just a quick jaunt from downtown Sarasota.<br />
The beaches are white and beautiful with<br />
sugar fine sand. They’re wide too, which<br />
helps to accommodate the people. This is a<br />
popular beach. This is probably the cleanest<br />
beach in the area and it’s protected by<br />
lifeguards and equipped with restrooms and<br />
snack bar. Siesta Village is close by where<br />
you can enjoy some great restaurants and<br />
beach attire is ok.<br />
Lynn Hall Memorial Park,<br />
Ft. Myers Beach<br />
Daytona is often thought of nationally as The<br />
Party Beach, but we suggest you visit Fort<br />
Meyers Beach instead. If you are looking for<br />
a party and want to do a little mingling, this<br />
is the spot. Lots of beach bars, tourists, dives<br />
and hotel accommodations.<br />
Crescent Beach, Siesta Key<br />
Located on Siesta Key in an area called Pointof-Rocks.<br />
If you like to snorkel, you will enjoy<br />
this beach immensely. It’s shallow with lots of<br />
flat rock and the fish like to feed here. It’s not<br />
very crowded and many don’t know about<br />
this wonderful gem. Its major drawback is a<br />
lack of parking.<br />
Manatee County Public Beach<br />
Located west of the City of Bradenton, off<br />
Manatee Ave. This is such a great family<br />
beach. The sand is white and the water is<br />
clean, calm and shallow. There are life guards<br />
on duty, restrooms, showers, a pier for fishing,<br />
picnic area, cafe and even a gift shop.<br />
French Café Themed McDonald’s<br />
7344 Sand Lake Rd, Orlando, <strong>FL</strong>,<br />
(407) 264-0050<br />
If you love McDonald’s, you must see these<br />
French themed McDonald’s restaurants. Each<br />
menu option boasts a French aspect such as<br />
Le Big Mac. These more upscale versions of the<br />
franchise also provide non traditional options.<br />
These options include portobello eggplant and<br />
blackened grouper.<br />
Blind Pass Beach, Sanibel<br />
This beach is great for a little get-a-way. Rent<br />
one of the small cottages and take yourself<br />
and a loved one away for the weekend. This<br />
beach resort offers many restaurants.<br />
Smathers Beach in Key West<br />
A fun beach with plenty to do. If you are the<br />
active type you will be in heaven. There are<br />
rentals for jet skies and rafts, parasailing, and<br />
windsurfing. The water is much too calm for<br />
surfing, so there’s no need to lug your board<br />
here, but the snorkeling is great and there is<br />
a designated swim zone. It’s the longest and<br />
one of the best known beaches in Key West.<br />
