Are you ready for your summer vacation? Florida has some of the best beaches in the world and has a beach for all tastes. You can find a beach for a secluded getaway, family beaches, romantic beaches, hiking beaches, fishing beaches and so much more. You can read this list and save this for your future reference.

Sandy beach accounts for 1,350 miles of Florida coastline. Two distinct waterfronts — the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico – mean sharp diversification that is furthered by other factors, including latitude that varies 6 degrees from northernmost to southernmost beaches.

Vegetation, population, dunes formation, sand composition, wave action, and other natural and social influences serve up Florida beaches in many flavors. Here we have divided Florida’s beaches into packages according to beach-goers’ interests and activities, listing some of the best in each category. A * denotes beaches accessible only by boat.
