Destin is amazing!! Best beach I’ve been too by far. The sand is the softest, most white sand there is, and the water is crystal clear! Love it.. go there all the time!
Ssshhh...
Never been there before, but are heading out there next month. Any suggestions for tiki bars or waterfront dining?
@@hoosiermaker2358 Exactly! Keep it on the low before it gets ruined. I was going to comment on a particular beach in Florida that is my number one, but I decided not snitch myself out. I then read your comment and I knew I made the right decision to keep quiet. Yes, Destin is a wonderful beach but not my number one in Florida.
Siesta Key has been scientifically tested to be the whitest and softest sand in the WORLD. So no
Destin is nice but unfortunately theres hardly any public access since all the real estate blocks it off. There is some access but the parking is too limited.
A big thanks from all men of culture who are planning their vacations.
One year later checking in sirs.
Yeah, this dude isn’t trading on his wife’s t-- & a- at all………….
We live in Fort Walton Beach, I grew up and lived there all my life. The best beaches by fare on the Emerald Coast is Grayton Beach Florida State Park on 30A, then it’s Henderson Beach, Navarre Beach, Destin, Panama City and Pensacola Beach. Even our neighbors in Gulf Shores, Alabama has the quartz crystal white sandy beaches too that washes down from the Appalachian mountains.
Family lived in Destin/Miramar beach for many years. Grayton Beach was far and away my favorite.
واو. يااالروعه. استدعيني زياده لكي نستمتع وانا ساهديك معي سمن وعسل بلدي 😂
Navarre Beach - So glad I found this place and was blessed enough to move here. One of the best decisions of my life.
It’s my favorite quiet place to bring my kids. Was hoping he’d keep it under wraps. Although over the past few years it’s been growing with new apartment developments and such.
Destin doesn’t compare to Navarre. It’s the same sand and water but 10 times the people and umbrellas at destin. If this list is about sand, water and less crowds, Navarre is #1. I haven’t been to Henderson though. Looks great. And no, I don’t live in Navarre yet.
Destin, Henderson, Fort Walton and Miramar beach are right next to each other. Gorgeous. Clearly they win. That part of handle is the prettiest. Powder white sands from crystals quartz. Super clear water.
NAVARRE??
I love all of Florida, period
I lived in Florida for 2 years. 1 partying in Key West and Miami. And 1 in rehab in Fort Walton Beach. LoL, been sober for 6 years now though. Love the Florida.
I live in Germany but would really like to move to Miami or New York where do you think I would be happier and meet cool people?
@@westside4762Miami imo
Whah whah mommy help!!
@@westside4762yeah Asian German man
@@Yurwastingyourtime don’t worry about your mommy. I’m taking good care of her 😉
Glad to see Hollywood Beach on the list, I grew up on that beach and now i travel the world on my sail boat and it's still one of my favorites beaches.
Is the water clear?
@Quissayilen during the summer months, it often is yes.
Something about the beach at 5:05 makes me very excited:)))))
Hello from Houston! Where are you two based? Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota is amazing. We went in 2011 and was blown away by the quartz sand beach and killer sunset. It's a must do.
Hey! No home base at the moment…just on the move! We loved Sarasota too, one of our favorite places for sure! Cheers!
Reddington beach. Quiet, warm and clear water, easy parking, stay at a hotel on the beach. Loved it.
Lido Beach on St. Armand’s in Sarasota is also a great beach with quartz sand, shells, clear water and free parking is definitely worth consideration for your list.
Anywhere from Lido beach going north on Longboat key to the very end of the island is spectacular beaches and turquoise water.
I lived in Tampa Bay for years and I absolutely love Indian Rocks Beach. It’s a 10 minutes south of Clearwater Beach but worlds apart. It’s not commercialized and has a really fantastic restaurant nearby called Guppy’s On The Beach. It’s the perfect chill spot.
Love guppies!
Is there a hotel we can stay in? And is the beach free?
Dry Tortugas National Park, the small beaches and Fort Jefferson itself, are truly amazing (2.15hrs ferry west of Key West). Honeymoon Island in, I believe, Clearwater. Coquina Beach, in Bradenton. Beaches along Hutchinson Island in Stuart are also nice.
Visited there in 2020! Easy snorkeling and lots of fish too!
Skip Daytona Beach, it's only good for that cool "Worlds Most Famous Beach" picture lol
But if you're in the area, go a little north to Flagler Beach, it's one of the few Small Town beaches left, try to visit during a surf competition
We just recently went to Flagler beach and loved it, it was much more our vibe than Daytona! Cheers Jesse!
I find Daytona big and nasty.
I grew up on the east coast of Florida but have also lived all over the west coast! I love the sand of the west coast beaches but to me they feel distinctly more touristy than the east coast ones north of the Miami/Lauderdale area. My favorite beaches are in Jupiter/Juno.
YES Bowman's Beach is like a live postcard, it is BEAUTIFUL!
Navarre is where I went in 2023! It’s was amazing and had not a lot of people, and not to forget the crystal green waters! I’m so happy you put it in!😊
Haulover clothing optional beach in Sunny Isles is extremely popular. A beautiful sand beach with easy access and parking is only $7 per day. Rest rooms and showers are close to the beach and they have a food wagon that serves great food beginning around 11 am. A nice weather day in March will find thousands of naturists from all over the world on the beach wearing nothing more than a smile.
If you love Siesta Key, you'll want to visit Anna Maria Island. It's basically 7 miles of amazing beach after beach. Most are big and soft. Parking is terrible if you get there after 10am on weekends. Gotta visit the Bridge Street Bizarre while you're there and take in the view at the Daiquiri Deck.
Great rec Jim, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to going there next time around! Cheers!
Darn it Jim, it's supposed to be a secret.
Yes, AMI is the best in my book. It's been our favorite beach for 23 years now. Did a sunset two days ago. Just awesome. We are blessed to have it. And if you want a great place for dinner after sundown, The Waterfront Restaurant is it. Top-notch kitchen and craft bar.
Went to Destin and Henderson State park last summer for the first time in the panhandle. Not surprised you picked it number one. We love Hollywood and Ft Lauderdale as well, and Daytona isn’t tooooooooo bad either
Next time you’re in the Destin or Pensacola areas, be sure to go to McGuire’s Irish Pub. They’ve been voted in the top 10 best restaurants in FL. We’ve been going to Destin for 20 years and hit up McGuires multiple times each trip. Fun place with awesome food and beverages!
Oh darn, we drove past it a couple times but never ate there. Will have to try it next time, thanks Kevin!
Do they still have the 20 cent bean soup? I always got a bunch for the hotel staff whenever i was there.
Thanks, we are going there in a couple of weeks for my nephews wings cerimoney becoming a Navy pilot out of Penicola. We are looking for good resturants. Any recommendations for water front dining?
@@blaster-zy7xx Jaco's Bayfront Bar & Grille
John D MacArthur Beach State Park is gorgeous and my personal favorite is Hobe Sound Beach. The canopy of trees leading up to the beach is everything!!!
super informative! I would recommend Honeymoon Island and caladesi island . My family and I went there and the waters were crystal clear, even a school of fish swam between us. Super cute. Keep up the great job guys! Looking forward your next video!
Bro honeymoon island is the best
My dogs love Honeymoon Island. I love this area. Dunedin Causeway great to fish, put your kayak in or jetski right from the shore.
Don’t forget to visit Ana Maria Island, Lido Key and St Armand’s Circle. Top 5 for sure.
No ! No! they all suck. don't go there, you will hate the white powder sand, crystal clear turquoise waters with all those dolphins, manatees swimming around while watching Pelicans nosedive for fish during low tide.
8:20 is a beautiful shot of the beach
We love Orange Beach on the border of Alabama and Florida. Emerald waters, white sand and it's never been over crowded when we are there.
Glad to see St. Augustine made the list. Anastasia Sate Park beach is the nicest beach in town because there’s no beach driving. It’s about three miles long and ends at the inlet separating the state park and Vilano Beach. You can only get on at the southern point, so the farther north you walk, the less people there are.
Great video! You guys did a great job with this subject. We still haven’t taken on this particular video topic yet because there are SOOO many beaches to explore, but you handled it well!
Haulover Beach is the nicest beach on the east coast. Clearest and bluest water, soft sand, not rocky, never too crowded, and usually a sandbar fifty feet or so off the coast.
Haven’t heard of it but it sounds amazing, thanks for sharing Victor!
@@ONWorldTravel Also, very naked. Great time. I want to see that video. ) It is a very nice beach though, no doubt.
And it’s a nude beach
@@Shmity1962 1/3 of the beach is. 1/3 is regular beach and 1/3 is a dog beach
The north end is a clothing-optional and family-friendly area of the beach. Beach ambassadors patrol the beach to ensure that the beach is a safe and friendly place for everyone. Once you try it, you will never want to wear a bathing suit at the beach again.
It is also fun to watch the boats and yachts go in and out of the Haulover Inlet at the south end (bathing suits required) of the beach. The water and waves in the Atlantic Ocean can be quite rough and challenging to navigate.
I have been living on the west coast of Florida for almost a year and I'm always amazed how nice are the beaches over here!
Sooo many nice beaches! 👌🏽😎
@@ONWorldTravel I am about to go on a road trip to explore the north beaches Pensacola etc....
We were in Marco Island this past May and we thought the beach there was awesome. Clear warm water, white sand and excellent shelling. It rivals any Caribbean beach I’ve been too
We heard that place is magical, will definitely check it out next time around! Thanks Lisa!
Marco is a real hidden gem. We've always been Ft. Walton-Destin vacationers, however last summer we decided to try Marco and we will never look back. It is absolutely perfect.
And the dolphins swimming by too!
No Marco is terrible don’t go down there! 😂
Been to Marco doesn’t compare to a Caribbean beach, nice but the shells not friendly on the feet, many nicer beaches in Florida than the 12 shown for sure.
Hidden gem...Bath Tub Beach on Hutchinson Island, great span of coral reef for snorkeling and very little crowds. Small but relaxing
Ooh, I’ve been to Naples Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, Tigertail Beach, Clearwater Beach, etc.. It was so much fun.
Florida is overrun with tons of awesome beaches but I definitely would have to include Fort DeSoto near the top of any list
A really nice secluded gem with no people is Boca Grande. Siesta Key is definitely one of my top favorites though for the sand and nightlife.
Anna Maria Island beaches are the most beautiful. Naples beach and Bonita beach are awesome too. Indian Rocks and Indian shores are the most underrated.
Ok, you guys are having too much fun! You two are my heroes for living like you do!
Haha thanks Michael! We’re grateful we get to travel! Cheers!
Great vid, I agree 98% except you obviously didn't go to Naples Beach. I just left there, crystal clear water just like Siesta Key, powdery white sand, coconut palms everywhere. Don't miss Delnor-Wiggins State Park. $4 entry fee, super friendly staff, free parking, clear water and white sand.
Hey Justin! I fell under the weather during what was supposed to be a two day stay in Naples so unfortunately we missed it! It’ll be top of the list next time around, thanks for the other suggestion too! Cheers! 🤘🏽
Fantastic job on this! I was very surprised to see so many of my favorites on your list, Florida has so many fantastic beaches that are just under-appreciated. Loved your criteria and thoroughness!
My grandmother lives right on the broadwalk in Hollywood, I’m from Nj so it’s a great escape for me every winter. Beautiful beach.
Hey! You guys missed North Captiva! No cars on the island, only golf carts. Regular ferry service from pine island. Half the island is state of Florida park!
Fort DeSoto and Egmont Key are a must when you come to St Petersburg. There is also Weeden Island if your into paddle boarding. Honeymoon island is a great spot as well and its close to the sponge docks in Tarpon Springs.
Caspersons Beach, Venice Florida. Not far south from Siesta Key beach, but a different experience. SHARKS TEETH everywhere! Also explore Georges Island on the panhandle.
Pompano Beach is also nice. The sand is a bit coarser on the east coast, but the sunrises are amazing. There is also a small reef about 150 yards off shore where we have snorkeled. It also has a fishing pier that is new as of 2021 with many stores and shops nearby. You have to pay to park but their are ample spaces available.
Great video!!! Anna Maria Island is a great beach as well!! Definitely worth the trip there!
We’ve heard great things! Will def have to check it out! Cheers!
Shhhhhh.....that's supposed to be kept quiet.
Florida native here and I couldn’t agree more with your #1 pick! Great list! Love your videos!
Thanks! And we got some many more recs to explore! Lol
My wife and I love watching you guys! You guys have inspired us to look into getting our own RV soon! But we must first wait for the arrival of our twins!!! Hope to maybe run into you guys someday!
-Flores family from San Antonio Tx
That’s exciting John! Twins! 😃 RV life is great and more simple because you have less things! We meet lots of families doing it! That’d be cool to meet up one day! Cheers!
RVs just dropped 30% in price. No one is driving anywhere right now.
Coquina Beach, Anna Maria Island are also perfect‼️
Check out Vero Beach! Super underrated
Noted! Thanks NC!
Playalinda Beach. Miles and miles of wilderness from Cape Canaveral to Ponce Inlet.
Yes. And you can watch a rocket launch from up close and personal.
this video was awesome. Great summary of some great beaches to check out in Florida.
Thanks a lot! Cheers
Bought my first home in the panhandle Living in the panhandle is great. Not many people, Crystal clear beaches, good food.
Awesome video and list! I would suggest to visit New Smyrna Beach - classy little town on the Atlantic Side. The beach is super clean and the sand is soft. Yes, it is considered the shark capital of the world, but sharks are really everywhere.
Definitely recommend New Smyrna Beach over Daytona! Most the sharks are small ; )
Ormond Beach, Ormond by the Sea, and Flagler Beach are the best
Love siesta key beach. Have spent many, many hours on it and in the village over the past 35 years. Highly recommend.
Have been to Naples several times and the beaches are awesome. If you like shelling it is good as well. Just got back from Marco Island and had a blast. That beach has the most shells I have ever seen. Definitely worth looking into.
We’ve heard awesome things of Marco Island! Will have to try and go there next year! 🤘🏽
I LOVE LOVE that there are still places in Florida that millions of people don't find on youtube. One of FL's best kept secrets is STILL yet to be exploited. It's only a matter of time, but to this day, I just want to let everyone know that those places still exist :)
We live in Southwest Florida and of all the beaches mentioned, only ONE of them is only accessible by boat. That is Caya Costa. That is the one we boat to from our house.
There are many others in SW Florida. U haven't been here long enough to discover them.
Don’t say too much 🤫
Need more video of Olivia! 😂
Ohhhh how you forgot Ana María Key, Lido beach and Coquina in Sarasota-Bradenton area? And Clearwater or St Petersburg?
VERO BEACH is amazing with the sand dunes .love it!
Been to most of these.....Siesta is still the overall BEST. Great evening scene, but not too crazy like Ft Myers. Great beaches, and very good experience. Numero Uno.
We loved Siesta, all around great beach! 🏝
Was just in Miami & the Keys 3 weeks ago & already recognized a handful of shots in the first minute & a half!
Ft. Zachary Taylor was one of our favorites!
Such a nice area, will always go back!
The Playalinda Beach at Merritt Island Reserve out near NASA/Titusville
Got to add Hallandale beach and Hollywood beach to this list two beautiful beaches with restaurants and bars and lounges.
Did you even watch the video?
thank you for liking our Hollywood ⛱️ Beach
Cheers Seth! All the best!
Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island beaches in Dunedin.
I recommend Barefoot Beach in Bonita Springs/Naples area! It was one of my faves.
Thanks Heather, we’ll have to check that one out! 🤘🏽
When you're in St. Pete Beach, you gotta go to Pass-A-Grille, it's all the way at the end of St. Pete Beach. It's a magical little beach town.
Saint Andrew's State Park
Cheaper entry
OR
Get a yearly park pass and get into ALL PARKS FREEEEEEE
No stop in tampa eh. Moving there in a month and so excited. Definitely going down to siesta to check out the volleyball scene.
We recently came back from Florida and Fort De Soto park (North beach) hit the spot. Privacy, quiet, clear and nice sand beach. Couldn't get parking for St. Pete Beach - so limited parking but glad that happened as we spent our time both days at De Soto instead. Much much better for us.
You have to check out Grayton Beach State Park. The coastal dune lakes along with the wildlife, hiking trails and tree canopy scenery is 2nd to none.
I saw that's how you describe rowdy? Just showing just one group of people. Very interesting. Another game you suspected people like to play.
Hi Olivia and Nathan! I have been to just a few of these beaches in the last 2 years. This video is great and I can't to explore more of them. Thanks again!! Kirk
Thanks Kirk! All the best!
Destin and Clearwater are beautiful 😍. I think overall Destin area has been my favorite ❤️
Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island, near Clearwater. Also on the East coast New Smyrna beach…you can drive on NSB.
They all sound great, thanks for sharing Chuck!
Lovers key has always been a favorite. Along with sunset beach on treasure island
Nice, will have to check that out! Thanks for sharing!
Navarre is only 25 minutes away! Destin is 45 minutes away! Florida panhandle beaches are the meta!
Thumbnail game on point
Perdido Key! Super relaxed in Perdido BUT right down the road from the Florabama. Great state park there to park, camp, kayak.
I love to carry my sister on the beach, or shallow water, either piggyback or sitting on my shoulders. It's fun!
I guess y’all haven’t been to Fort Desoto in St Pete? Great campground and fishing. Plus no buildings on the shoreline, Just sand dunes and mangroves.
Right. How can you do a vid about Florida's best and not mention Ft. Desoto?
That place sounds awesome! We’d love to go there next year! Thanks for sharing Bruce!
I second Fort Desoto!
Actually I wouldn’t recommend Fort Desoto. Wink wink. That place sucks! 😊
Just cause YOU like fort desoto, doesnt mean everyone should also like it. I live in florida, and fort desoto wouldnt make my top 5 beaches.
Yep there is clear water in Sarasota.
The Beaches is awesome! This is a great upload👍 Thanks a lot for sharing great content👌👌
Thanks a lot! 🤘🏽
For a nice clear water beach near Sarasota, I've enjoyed Longboat Key.
Seen all of these beaches. I think for sheer great beach - but it can get crowded, Clearwater Beach is the nicest we've seen - sand, depth of the beach (space), water temp, swimming etc. etc. and then the options of food etc around the beach.
In Marco Island, South Naples Florida. TY for your videos, great as always
Thanks Helene, all the best!
Love it! The BEST State in the Union!
Love Florida 🏝
Boca Grande is absolutely amazing!
Gotta check it out! 🤘🏽
As a Florida resident, I would suggest Honeymoon Island, although I haven't been in a while, but worth a look. It is a State Park so there is an entry fee. North Redington Beach is another one as well as Howard Park Beach, Clearwater Beach, Sand Key Beach, and Cayo Costa.
yes to all your suggestions, but Cayo Costa is hard to get to. Only boat accessible , which is why it is a nice secluded beach.
Great video! I moved from TX (after my divorce) to FL and love it here minus the hurricanes but live an hour from Destin, Navarre Beach, Fort Walton, and Panama City Beach. Don't make as much $ as living in TX but the quality of life is so so much better...Live simple and Enjoy Life!!!
If you get a chance, check out Flagler Beach- supposed to be nice place without the big crowds
We love Flagler beach. It’s exactly like you described! Cheers!
Miramar beach is my favorite of all. Technically Destin, but a vibe all its own.
Hit New Smyrna Beach. It’s just south of Daytona. It’s a drive on the beach.
Good...glad you only mentioned the tourist beaches...I live in the free state of Florida and there is no way I am going to tell the rift raft were the best beaches really are....but I can tell you that you were not even close with the ones you mentioned. Still, glad you enjoyed yourself...
Honeymoon Island State Park is a private Island and beach by ferry. Best sand, best sunset. Around $10 a couple which includes parking and ferry ride to and from. A must see. The causeway getting to the island ferry is nothing, but Honeymoon Island is a hidden gem.
Fort de Soto is the best! Fav childhood memories
Gotta check that out next time!
Panama City Beach, Mexico Beach, Pass-a Grille Beach, Turtle Beach. Try any of these as well.
Beautiful FLORIDAAAAAA 🌴☀🐠🐬🌅🌴
Barefoot beach is amazing!
