Last year I spent a week at 3 different FL locations (Madeira Beach, FL on the gulf, Vero Beach on the Atlantic and Orlando).
I should have skipped Orlando. Way to $$$, loud, busy and basically a tourist trap. Vero Beach was nice. Loved swimming in the ocean and having it push and pull me. However it was a bit too relaxing as in there was nothing else to do but beach & pool. Still for the 2 days at vero beach it was just what I needed to relax, no cellphone, no internet, no work calls, no family text, nothing! However I really loved Madeira Beach and St. John's Pass. I went during their seafood & music festival and the food was amazing. Yes it was loud at St. John's Pass but I was about 3 blocks from the pass and right on the beach so I could not hear all the noise and was far enough away that it was quite. Did not get to spend much time on the beach here as it was the first time at St. John's Pass so I did all that sightseeing.
Which brings me to this year. I want to go back to FL somewhere along the gulf shoreline. I figured maybe 2 to 3 days back at Mederia Beach but then someplace else. Anything I should hit this time? Thinking late AUG - SEP timeframe.
