Top 10 Rated Beaches:
#10 – Daytona Beach: known for its entertaining boardwalk, a history of racing that was the source of the reason you can still drive on the beach today, at a speed limit of 10 miles per hour for $5 per day. So you can drive & park right on the beach to camp out for the day, if you want.
#9 – Sanibel Island: 1 of over 100 barrier islands along the coast, known for having the best shells and the best crustaceans due to the unique seabed structure off the coast.
#8 – Panama City Beach: with a population of 35,000 residences turns into a party city during the month of March when 500,000 high school & college students flood the area and its hotels. Local businesses are accustomed to, and well prepared for, this tradition. They have organized events and games to occupy the wild bunch. The beach features almost 19,000 hotel rooms and a variety of clubs including the well known "Club La Vela", "Harpoon Harry’s" and "Spinnakers".
#7 – Sandspur Beach, Bahia Honda Key: the entire island is protected park land, quiet, secluded and pristine.

It is only 90 miles north of Cuba, making it closer to Havana than Miami.
