There are VERY few cars driving on this section of the Beach. The heavy traffic starts about a mile south of this area and continues South to Downtown Daytona Beach. Traffic South |

I will admit I'm a bit biased toward Clearwater Beach because my hubby and I both grew up living on Clearwater Beach. My Mom is still there. It has changed dramatically, but still the finest sand and the sunsets are incredible!!
We are fortunate in TV to have so many great day trips available! Enjoy!! |
We prefer that there be no cars on the beach. Cocoa Beach doesn't have them on the beach.

Definitely Clearwater beach. Feels like the Carribbean. Can't wait until we are there full-time to take advantage of these beach trips. I already have a plan. Pack a cooler in the car, go to Clearwater beach for the day, and then stop at Costco, as there is one in Clearwater, before heading home. Maybe once a month. Now that's a Costco trip.

We go to the gulf side at Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs. The beach is about a mile out a causeway in the gulf and is like being on an island. We enjoy the beach and like the fact that there is not the traffic congestion that you get in any other areas.
If you go be sure and use a GPS to get there as you have to drive through neighborhood roads to get there and it is not easy to find and that is perhaps why it is seldom crowded. Nothing commercial around so take your food and drinks. Very nice beach which is easy on the tenderfoot. Also after the beach the sponge docks at Tarpon Springs can be interesting.

Maybe...we loved the NJ beaches (Ocean City, Cape May, etc). The closest I found to that experience is Cocoa Beach, specifically Alan Shepard Park. Great waves, clear water and nice sand, gentle ocean sloap, easy parking (nominal fee), showers, and places to buy food. The best thing is that it is mostly highway driving directly into Cocoa Beach (1 hour 40 minutes) without the maddening local roads through towns and lights. Fred Howard park is nice if you want a secluded area but it has lots of sea weed.
