Florida Gulf Beaches Knowledge Base
Does anyone know if the beaches in the Florida Keys are prettier than the Florida gulf beaches? I've been to the gulf and to the Atlantic side, but i was wondering id the water in the Florida Keys is clearer than the greenish color that is in the gulf. The Gulf is pretty, but when I was in Cancun the water there was the prettiest color. Just curious if the Keys is similar.
Planning my vacation: Are the beaches in Florida (Gulf side / Panama City) affected by oil spill yet? Can't really find any specific details on the oil spill and how Florida beaches are affected. Does anybody here know?
Why are Florida's Gulf Coast beaches so much better-looking than beaches on the AL, MS, and TX Gulf Coasts? I first thought it was the composition of the sand, as I was directly comparing Gulf Coast beaches in Northwest Florida such as those in Pensacola, Destin, and Panama City (which all have sugary-white sand), to the beach at South Padre Island, Texas (which has darker beige sand). But then I looked at photos of beaches near Northwest Florida but in the adjacent states of Alabama and Mississippi -- Dauphin Island/Mobile and Gulf Shores in Alabama and Biloxi in Mississippi. Those beaches have the same nice white sand that the Florida beaches do but the water colour is different. In Northwest Florida, the water is a tropical emerald blue-green colour, as you'd find in the Carribean or the Bahamas, while the water in Alabama and Mississippi (and Texas) is mostly a dull, dark blue-brownish colour. It seems like the proverbial God has blessed Florida with better beaches than the other Gulf Coast states, even when these other states' beaches are just miles away from the beautiful ones in Florida. What's the deal? The muddy Mississippi River empties out southeastward in Louisiana west of all the beaches in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida, so I'm not sure it greatly affects those beaches, and South Padre Island in Texas is far, far south of the Mississippi River's mouth (and away from the direction that it empties out), so it would seem unlikely that the river would have much impact on the colour of the water in Texas. South Padre Island is even Texas's most beautiful beach (which still doesn't compare to those in Northwest Florida), with beaches farther north on the state's Gulf Coast such as Port Aransas and Galveston being uglier and browner. Why have Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi been shafted when it comes to beach beauty while Florida has taken all the blessings? Obviously, this has to do with Mother Nature, but Nature seems to have been very unfair to all the Gulf Coast states but Florida, if we are to judge.

Will The Florida Gulf Coast Be RUINED By The Oil Spill? I am planning on moving to the Tampa Bay/ St. Petersburg area of Florida after college.

What are the quieter, more secluded beaches in the Gulf Coast (FL) w/ beachfront house rentals? For honeymoon? Looking for a house rental for our honeymoon (July 8-15) on a more secluded beach (privacy) in the Gulf Coast, preferably the Florida panhandle. We want somewhere that is not too touristy and crowded. We definitely want a house, NOT a condo or townhouse and would prefer beachfront rather than further back on the land... Being further back would be alright as long as we have a good oceanview from the house. I have found a lot of places further south in Florida's Gulf Coast, but we wanted to see if we could find anything ranging from Pensacola Beach to St. Joseph Bay or maybe a little further (not too far... we're driving from Tennessee). OR if you know of any other places like I described that aren't in Florida (definitely beach... not lakes, rivers, etc.) that we could drive to from Tennessee, please suggest them!!! We're open to all ideas!! Thank you.
