The sand is as soft as baby powder at Siesta Key. Leave the shoes in your room: It’s a sensory delight to walk down this strand, thanks to tiny sand grains that are almost pure quartz.

Northwest Florida Golf: The WaterColor Inn
If you spend some time in northwest Florida, you must plan a visit to the WaterColor Inn and set up a few tee times at Camp Creek, The Origins Course and Shark’s Tooth. I especially love the area in the fall months.

Four Elements of Florida Beaches
Deep blue water laps the broad shoreline, and candy-colored lifeguard stations add a festive touch to the scenery. The most striking sights, though, are the throngs of gorgeous sun gods and goddesses that congregate in this playground of the rich and famous.
