Florida's beaches are, quite simply, some of the best in the world. I know that sounds like something off a travel brochure, but after 35 years of visiting I genuinely mean it. The Gulf Coast in particular — with its warm, calm water and white sugar sand — is unlike anything you'll find in Europe. Whether you're after a lively beach with water sports and beachside bars, or a quiet stretch of coastline where the kids can build sandcastles in peace, Florida has it. This is where I share everything I've learned about Florida's beaches — the best ones for UK families, how to get there, where to stay nearby, and which ones are genuinely worth the drive.
