Florida Beaches ..... Take a break and chill out on one of Florida's many beautiful beaches - view a sunrise on an Atlantic Ocean beach, or drive west and watch the sunset on a Gulf of Mexico beach, where the water, on average, tends to be warmer and the white sands in some places are a finer grain. Cocoa Beach -Only an hours drive directly east of the attractions area on the Atlantic Ocean.  In many spots, where the ocean meets the land are steeply inclined sand beaches (this may change during hurricane season or major storms), but a few feet from shore it's nice and flat so that you can set up your beach towel.   Kennedy Space Center is just a couple of minutes north if you want to make a side trip. Daytona Beach - Self-proclaimed by locals as The Most Famous Beach in the World, this beach is popular with tourists and easily accessible from the Orlando area, being about a 1 1/2 hours drive northeast. Famous years ago for its automobile races on the beach, today cars are still permitted on the beach. Check your car rental agreement before driving on the beach though, because most of the rental companies prohibit this kind of off road driving! Local proprietors offer jet skiing, windsurfing, para-sailing and boat rentals. Madeira Beach - This beach is near a small tourist center there are quaint stores, restaurants, buildings and inexpensive tourist trinkets.  It is right next to John's Pass, an old style (but up to date) fishing village, where you can rent jet-skis or cross the Pass bridge and go out for the evening on an entertainment boat. You also can go out on a dolphin watch cruise or a deep-sea fishing boat from here.  Sunsets on the beach here are beautiful. Sand Key - Considered by many as being one of the top ten beaches in the U.S.A., this beach is north on Gulf Blvd. from Madeira Beach , at the far northern tip of the same barrier island. Fine powder-white sands endow this splendid spot. Treasure Island - A typical place to relax on the gulf, just to the south of Madeira Beach, with wide white sand beaches with an immense amount of shell deposits. Florida Beach Guide
