I am on my way out to find a beach tent that I might connect to the bed of my truck the next time I go to the beach. Then, I thought this might be a great question to post. The attached picture is found on this link: http://www.volusia.org/services/public-protection/beach-safety/

My favorite beach was Daytona. Being an east coast beach, there was enough waves that you could body board, you were allowed to drive/cruise on the beach, and back in the day, was the hotspot for spring break.

LTC Paul Labrador, I grew up in Jacksonville, so my friends and I routinely went as far north as Fernandina Beach and as far south as St. Augustine. Daytona Beach always required a little planning. In any event, the beaches were much the same, in that the waves were decent, and you could drive on the beach they were so wide. We would even fill pick up trucks with firewood and straw, have a hayride to the beach, have a bonfire at the beach and then have a hayride back. Great fun! For the most part, the waters of that part of the eastern seaboard were always brownish. However, by the time you got as far south as Daytona, the beaches looked pretty good.
Nowadays, I prefer the Destin, FL area.

I went to HS in Lakeland and college at USF in Tampa. Clearwater was our usual go-to beach, but Daytona was always more fun.

I grew up near Port Orange FL just about 3 miles from the beach commonly known as Daytona Beach. As a kid, I loved to surf and body surf. As a teenager, we were frequently at the beach at night, usually near Ponce Inlet, to party with our friends. Sometimes, we'd just cruise up and down the beach watching girls and helping Yankee tourists (for a small fee) to pull their cars out of the sand. Many of us couldn't wait to leave for 'greener pastures' once we graduated high school. I left earlier...moving to Pennsylvania in 1971 to live with my Dad during my senior year of high school. It wasn't until many years later, after traveling with the USAF for 20 years and then driving a truck all over the lower 48 and Canada after I retired, that I came to the realization that I had grown up in paradise--and never even knew it.

The north Gulf of Mexico shores are the best in the U.S. in my opinion, CPT (Join to see). More particularly, I like the Destin/San Destin, FL area, especially those areas along highway 30A, which are a little bit east of San Destin proper. LTC Paul Labrador

CPT (Join to see), we went to Seagrove Beach about mid-May. Here are two photos from our trip. It's hard to beat these waters and beaches! LTC Paul Labrador
