Check out Englewood - located on the West coast. I grew up in Florida and we went there every Summer. I don't care for the East coast - no offense, just personal preference. We always stayed at Pelican Shores. They have 2 bedroom cottages and apartments. The water is easily accessible. They are not upscale, but affordable and quiet. It's a cute little town. Ko Ko Kai is also in Englewood and they have a pool. You might also look into Weston's. Great shelling... If you are looking for more action, you should check out Destin, which is in the panhandle. Beautiful water, lots to do - shopping, activities and etc. I live 12 miles from the coast, but the water here is awful. The sand is brown and the water is tea colored. It's great for fishing and boating, but I would not swin in the water here. Good luck and I hope you enjoy your trip to our wonderful state.

St Augustine. It's North of Daytona. Beautiful beaches, beautiful historical downtown area. Plenty to do, very family-friendly. and Marineland is nearby which offers swimming with dolphins.

if you want to be close to Disney and a beach try New Symerna Beach. White sand clean beach. You don't have the heavy crowds like Daytona. Its close to everything. You can spend a day at Disney/Universal,Seaworld and swim with the Dolphins. Keywest is a party town. If you like to drink the keys is the place. Not to good for children.
