I like the Atlantic side because there is more wave action. I particularly like the Flagler Beach area because there's only one monstrous condo building. The rest are beach type homes like I remember from childhood. Also dogs are allowed on a lot of the beach in that area. We go there a few times a year to a '50s style motel--old but clean and dog friendly, nice restaurant next door. The beach is quiet, not crowded, and peaceful.

We grew up going to the NJ, Maryland and Outer Banks shores. I wish Florida's Atlantic coastline had waves as big as up those, but we'll take what we can get.
