Florida's Unexpected Shores
The sand is as soft as baby powder at Siesta Key. Leave the shoes in your room: It’s a sensory delight to walk down this strand, thanks to tiny sand grains that are almost pure quartz.

Find Your Beach
In 2008, Caladesi Island State Park with its fine white sand and gentle clear blue surf, beat out beaches in Hawaii and California for the No. 1 spot on Dr. Beach's 2008 Best Beaches in America list.

Visit Clearwater Beach if you want an archetypal beach town experience. Seafood shacks, beach bars, pizza parlors and souvenir shops abound, along with a wide variety of accommodations.

Florida Beach Survey
A painfully obvious but nevertheless satisfying thought crossed my mind the last time I was there; the refreshing sea breeze you feel has crossed the entire Atlantic before making landfall, making it some of the cleanest, freshest air on earth.

Caladesi Island: Pristine Perfection
You don't have to do anything on Caladesi Island. That's the joy of its three-mile beachfront. But, if you choose, you can actually, oh, get up, enjoy a picnic lunch under the pavilions and go angling, kayaking, birding or hiking through several distinct habitats.

Natural Beaches
If you count all bays and inlets - where you'll find the "secret" sandy getaways usually known only to locals - Florida has nearly 8,500 miles of shoreline.

City Profile: Dunedin
Or take a guided walk led by a park ranger to learn about the many birds which make the islands their home, including endangered species such as the Great Blue Heron, Wood Storks and Snowy White Egrets.

St. Petersburg/Clearwater Area Beaches
Both sandy and rocky shores line this state park. Wildlife is abundant, and two bird observation areas and nature trails offer plenty of opportunities to see osprey and other native Florida wildlife.

Dr. Beach's Florida Picks
"There's even a 105-year old fort on-site that's a landmark of Florida history."

Caladesi and Honeymoon Islands
Go shelling along the stretch of beach that juts toward the Gulf. But remember this island belongs to the real natives - birds and, yes, even things that slither.
