Wild boars? The barrier islands south of Tampa have gorgeous white sand beaches. Not sure about north?

Nokomis Beach is a little known one......Casey Key, etc. north of Venice.

The Gulf of Mexico beaches are beautiful. We've seen them all.

As someone else mentioned. Saint Pete Beach is HUGE......great beach.
Nice pier as well.

Tarpon Springs is a cute town to visit.....with the Greek fishing boats, restaurants, etc.
