Beach

We spent a lot of time while in Florida checking out beaches.  After the beaches of Key West, we started up the west side and stopped first at Marco Island beach.  It was a mixture of sand and crushed sea shells, so it was tough on bare feet.  Definitely a high class destination.  Next stop was at Naples beach.  It was very nice, but nothing special.  On to Sarasota where Siesta Key beach has to be the prettiest beach in Florida.  Well maintained by the county, with good restrooms, shaded picnic areas, free parking, Lifeguards, and lots of beautiful white sand.  Although, I like Venice beach as much because it is generally less crowded.  And perhaps my favorite is Casperson Beach south of Venice.  It is surrounded by undeveloped land; it is not fronted by high rise condos like most beaches.  It has dunes, almost 2 miles of beach,  nice restrooms, picnic areas, free parking, an 1100 foot boardwalk,  mostly older people, and it is the best place to go shelling and find sharks teeth.
