 <\/p>\n

\"B1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Destin<\/h2>\n

Why go:<\/strong> Families flock to Destin for its white sands, gorgeous Gulf waters and frequent sunshine. This Florida mainstay is one of the state’s most affordable beach towns, though temperatures, visitor volume and room rates are at their highest in the summer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"B2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Naples<\/h2>\n

Why go: Overflowing with golf courses, gourmet restaurants and boutique shops, Naples offers travelers an upscale Florida retreat. The luxury resorts and costly activities can make a Naples vacation quite expensive. But luckily, the beaches are completely free to enjoy.<\/p>\n

\"B3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sanibel Island<\/h2>\n

Why go: <\/strong>You’ll be hard-pressed to find a place in Florida with quieter and calmer shores than Sanibel Island. Here, the pastime is \u00abshelling\u00bb \u2013 collecting assorted colorful seashells along the sand \u2013 rather than partying, making this beach an excellent choice for families.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Sanibel<\/a><\/p>\n

Fort Lauderdale<\/h2>\n

Why go: <\/strong>Often overlooked for Miami, Fort Lauderdale’s less chaotic, less crowded beaches are its greatest asset. Fort Lauderdale is both family- and budget-friendly, offering significantly lower hotel room rates than other nearby Florida beach towns<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"B5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Key West<\/h2>\n

Why go: <\/strong>This tiny island might be at the end of the Keys, but it should also garner a spot at the top of your list.

 <\/p>\n

\"B6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Fort Myers<\/h2>\n

Why go:\u00a0<\/strong>Fort Myers may lack the see-and-be-seen sands of\u00a0Miami Beach\u00a0or the clean coast of nearby\u00a0Sanibel Island, but it does feature a unique composition of both saltwater and freshwater. Plus, Fort Myers exudes a small-town feel that many vacationers enjoy<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"B7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

West Palm Beach<\/h2>\n

Why go:<\/strong>\u00a0Though West Palm doesn’t boast any beaches, staying here will put you within 2 miles of Palm Beach’s sands, plus its ritzy residents.
