I'm not sure you have seen all of Florida. Check out Hollywood Beach.

Hollywood Beach Broadwalk - VisitHollywoodFL.org

And.....this water is warm enough to swim in comfortably. The water temps in South Florida are much warmer than central Florida due to the Gulf Stream coming very near the shore in this area bringing warmer water and weather. Florida south of lake Okeechobee is like a entirely different state as far as climate and vegetation, and not to mention fishing. Of course with everything there is a + and - and South Fla is prone to hurricanes, more humidity and longer hot summers.
