Boatless Fishing
A day of pier fishing can be a family outing. If the kids get bored with fishing, they can wander up and down the pier seeing what other people are catching or they can hit the beach to toss a Frisbee or grab some rays.

The Ultimate Summer Beach
The best thing about Panama City Beach shopping is you don't have to step far off the sand. In many cases, you can shop right on the beach.

Walking the Planks: Piers of Southwest Florida
Piers offer a way for us to transcend the limits of the shoreline without having a boat. Strolling out onto a pier is the closest we'll ever get to walking on water.

Fishing in St. Petersburg/Clearwater
With ample boat ramps and well-marked waterways, anglers can fish out of their own shallow-draft boats or hire one of the flats guides that specialize in these inshore species.

Pier-Fection
My reel screams as the snook tries to run for the safety of the pilings. I lift hard on the rod tip, hoping to turn the fish, but I’m one second too slow.

Pensacola's Family Attractions
How often, after all, do you run into a pair of turkeys on the sidewalk? These full-feathered creatures seem to get a kick out of "gobbling" for giggling children.

The New Daytona Beach
Aaron, Jean-Michael and I finished our last visit to this place we call kid-heaven with a late lunch in Ocean Walk Shoppes, colorful and representing what's freshest in Daytona Beach's family-fetching image.

A-Foot in St. Petersburg
Grassy parks line the seven-mile waterfront and host festivals throughout the year. One park, known as Spa Beach, is sandy and popular for sunning.

Meet You at the Pier
Unlike other old-fashioned wooden piers, the Cocoa Beach Pier has no rides. The restaurants all have ocean views, and you can choose to eat inside or out.

Wanted: An Old-fashioned Beach Vacation
Daytona Beach, with its historic pier, bandshell, beachfront boardwalk, amusement rides, cotton candy and skee ball, represents the classic beach destination. Yet it also offers an array of contemporary conveniences, proving you don't have to give up modern comforts to partake in a true, old-fashioned beach vacation.

Saltwater Fishing
It's deep, it's blue, and it's full of large game fish that can turn the shape of a rod into a pretzel. Here lurk awesome battlers such as blue marlin, wahoo, sailfish, dolphin, kingfish, swordfish, yellowfin and blackfin tuna, and sharks longer than the width of some boats.
