Travel Forum / Destinations / USA and Canada / September 2005West Coast Florida Area
I took my family to an Indian Shores condo last year. It was very nice, but zero restaurants and activities. Can I get some input from folks who have vacationed along the florida gulf coast where they found they didn't have to get in their car to find restaurants, mini putt maybe, etc. (family fun). There's got to be a few areas where it's kind of busy like that but not too crazy with students. Thanks Sammy > I took my family to an Indian Shores condo last year.

Meyers, Sanibel and Captiva Islands (my favorites). =R= I'll second Clearwater Beach. It's a town, and there's a town beach right in the middle of it. There are plenty of places to eat and sleep where you can actually leave the car parked for days at a time. You can find zoot if you want it, but for the most part pricing is fairly friendly. k >> I took my family to an Indian Shores condo last year.

Right, Clearwater Beach and Fort Myers Beach are your choices. They both have town areas for walking around without driving. Anna Maria Island is somewhat the same but quieter and with few hotels. If you're going in March, the first two will both have students -- more so in Clearwater. > I took my family to an Indian Shores condo last year.

That's tough, it's gonna be crowded regardless. However, much of the coast isn't exactly college spring break central. You're far more likely to just run into "locals" on break from high school. For your other criteria, basically stick to the larger towns. The whole Clearwater/St. Pete area will have alot to choose from. Naples isn't too bad. Sarasota is fairly good too. If you want a quiet time, try Englewood. >> I took my family to an Indian Shores condo last year. It was very >> nice, but zero restaurants and activities.
