Clearwater Beach
My advice is to bring your own beach chair and umbrella. You can save quite a bit compared to rental prices. Plus, it’s super comfy to lounge in your own stuff!
Avoid the midday sun! I suggest hitting the beach around 4 PM when it's starting to cool down, and you get those amazing sunset vibes without the crazy heat.
Haulover Park
If you're into fishing, bring your gear! I spotted many people catching fish right from the shore, so it's a fun option if you have the time.
I highly recommend arriving before 10 AM to snag a good parking spot and get that morning beach vibe. It fills up fast trust me!
My advice is to pack your own snacks. The food options are a bit pricey, and you can save a ton just by bringing your own cooler.
Panama City Beach
Bring your own cooler to the beach! I filled mine with snacks and drinks, and it saved me loads of cash instead of buying overpriced stuff from vendors.
Crandon Park
I think it's worth checking the events calendar before you go. We stumbled upon a cool event that made our visit extra special, but I wish we’d planned for it!
If you're like me and love to chill on the beach, try to get there by 9 AM to snag a good spot. The later it gets, the harder it is to find a nice little nook!
Henderson Beach
The beach can get crowded, so I think it's better to head left when you arrive. It tends to be quieter there, which makes for a more relaxing experience.
My advice is to pack some beach games or a good book. It makes the day way more enjoyable while soaking up that sun
Cocoa Beach
My advice is to rent a beach umbrella or board for the day instead of buying them. I paid a fortune that first day and found out you can get rentals at way better prices a little down the beach.
I totally recommend avoiding the overpriced beachside cafes. Instead, take a short walk to get some awesome local food trucks nearby. You'll save cash and get some tasty grub!
Haulover Naturist Beach
Bring plenty of sunscreen, even if it looks cloudy. I got sunburned in areas I didn’t think would get hit, but I learned my lesson the hard way!
Cypress Point Park
If you're into photography, come just before sunset. The colors are stunning and there's less glare. I wish I had known this trick earlier; my photos would have been so much better.
My advice is to bring snacks and drinks with you. There's not much nearby, and trust me, you'll want to stay hydrated while lounging by the water
South City Beach Park
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The concession stand prices are kinda high, and you can save a lot by packing some sandwiches and drinks from home.
North City Beach Park
Don’t forget to bring your own snacks and drinks! The food prices at the nearby vendors can be pretty steep. I spent way more on a soda than I expected.
Check the tide schedule. I didn’t realize the water would be super low in the afternoon, so my beach day was kind of disappointing. Go early for the best swimming!
I suggest getting there around 9 am to snag a good parking spot. It fills up quick, and you don’t wanna waste time circling around looking for a spot.
