- UsuallyNotGrumpyColumbus, OhWe drove up from Treasure Island for the last day of the sugar sand festival. Huge sand sculptures competition, lots of food and drink, music and TONS of people! After a lot of searching we finally found a parking spot. Only to find the parking meter wasn’t working. Luckily a parking cop stopped by. We found out you can park for free is you have a handicap placard. We had one so we parked for free ½ block from the pier. It was a beautiful day. Fantastic people watching. Loved the sand castles.Written April 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- PowerTrippersCocoa Beach, FLWe enjoyed a beautiful Key West afternoon at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. The fort was very interesting, though lacking in signage explaining what you were seeing. Still, very cool place.
The beach was absolutely beautiful, and was a wonderful place to swim. The water was very tropical looking, and was the perfect temperature for swimming.
No trip to Key West would be complete without a visit to Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. Two thumbs up!

- Heidi gTraverse City, MIHubby, , teen son, and I drove down to PCB from northern Michigan earlier this month. Our first time staying in the Florida panhandle. Spent total of 5 days and 6 nights here. Rented an amazing beachfront condo through Airbnb - Rm 1301 in the TidewaterBeach Resort. Our first full day in PCB we lazily got up and around and headed down to the beach with our chairs we brought after we ate lunch. It was breezy but only one red warning flag posted so we could go into the gulf and swim, etc. without being fined. The rental chairs on the beach cost $50/hr! So glad we brought our own. We walked each direction on the beach alternating days, one of our highlights. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side after that day. The winds called for double red flags so no swimming in the ocean. The 2 outdoor pools are each on the side of the 39 story resort and the chairs there didn’t come out these days due to wind and storms. There were tornado watches as well. The temps here were in the 70’s the week before ours but in the 60’s and cooler while we were here. It made for cooler temps when the it rained because of the wind but we still did our beach walks. One silver lining was the resorts did not rake their beachfronts so we found a very few little whole shells! Another goal of ours. We thought there would be way more. We had reserved a full day mid week for a pontoon boat to cruise around St. Andrew’s Bay. On our first day in PCB, I noticed the weather was not looking good for outdoor stuff so I called Beachy Boat Rentals who kindly changed our reservation to Friday, our last day there. Hubby Eric has a lot of experience operating various types of boats so we did ok crossing a large part of the bay to get to Shell Island and we collected a few more shells, but they were far and few between even there. We ended up heading back to the marina a few hours early as it was so choppy, we were getting really wet and cold. And we’re tough and used to cold weather/water. It was beautiful! We ate dinner out every evening and really liked a few of the restaurants for their seafood, reasonable prices, and atmosphere: Dusty’s, Sharkey’s, Hook’d, and Margaritaville. There are many places to eat here! There are also a few decent grocery stores nearby. There are several places where you can access the beach if you aren’t staying on it. Pier Park is a nice and safe and clean shopping area across the main beach road, Front Beach, and you can either park to the west of Pier Park in the big lot, or take a shot at pulling into a parallel spot along the road, beachside. We did both. There are several little shops and restaurants in Pier Park, and a large Ferris wheel and other activities. Very touristy. It’s across Front Beach from the long pier which we walked out on to the first evening. Hubby got to check out just how they were fishing, etc. He went fishing there the next day with his wagon (we brought from home) full of supplies but he didn’t bring his fillet knife! So the 3 x 22” Bluefish he caught he gave to others!!! Oh well. He had a nice time, and that’s when my son and I shopped Pier Park. While March is the big Spring Break month, April isn’t so much so it wasn’t packed, not lots of traffic, hardly any noise and partying (yep, I’m getting old! Been there, done that!). Overall, I’d go back again and would hope to have better weather. There are lots of things to do for families with small kids, we noticed.Written April 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- I absolutely loved st Pete beach!!! It’s not much different than Clearwater Beach but by far less busy! The water is crystal clear and when I went was the perfect beach day! I took the sun runner directly to the beach and the trolley drops you off right at the beach so pretty easy. I have wanted to go to st Pete beach for years and finally glad I did.Written April 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- I had seen everyone’s pics and thought the water would be a lot prettier and the sand but that’s not the case the sand is not the white pretty sand the water is not that pretty green blue . You can’t walk in the beach at night cause the water comes all the way up to the stairs and concert barrier . It had red flags we where they the whole
Time tons of seas foam . The water is so rough .Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a nice boat ramp, dock and camp store. Access to the beach is just a short bike ride across the park. The beaches in the Florida Panhandle just can't be beat, we love the natural dunes, white sands and emerald waters. Close to shopping and several excellent restaurants.
This area was hit hard few years ago by Hurrican Michael and it shows. They are currently redoing all the roads in the park, but don't let this stop you from visiting.Written April 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We stayed at a hotel nearby, came down onto the beach through June Decker public access (very crowded), and walked in front of a hotel's chairs to get to this wide, gorgeous beach.Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Beautiful spot with lots to do... and some amazing sunsets... They also do movie nights called Cinemas in the Sands, which is a cool experience and they usually have free popcorn for the event.. Great fun for the family for free..Written April 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Gorgeous beach and park. We spent the day exploring, swimming, and chilling on the beach. The water was so inviting, the winds were high so we didn't attempt going snorkeling...but we will be back. Definitely recommend you stop if you are in the area or passing through.Written April 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ctwaternutNorth CarloinaThis beach was a great location for swimming. Easy to get to and offers some shade if you’re lucky enough to find a vacant palm. Great place to picnic, swim, and sunbathe. Our favorite beach in the keys.Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
