For us the nicest, whitest, powder beaches are on the west coast. Marco Island is just about 90 minutes from Miami, Ft Myers/Sanibel just 2 hours, Sarasota/Siesta key is 4 hours and is a great beach. Clearwater is a nice beach too.
There is a distinct difference between the beaches on the Atlantic side and the Gulf side so it depends on what type of beach you want to see. The surf is different. The sand is different. The East coast get a beautiful sunrise The West coast gets a beautiful sunset. Life is a beach so enjoy.
From Miami we liket to take The Tamiami Trail to Marco much less traffic and more senic than alligator alley.
when you get to the West Coast if your going to go farther North take I75.
