The west coast (Gulf) beaches are different than the east coast (Atlantic) of Florida.
The children had a great time playing in the shallow, calm water and with all the shells on the beach. We went to Bonita Springs/Barefoot Beaches and the first day I felt one starfish by my feet out in the water! The next day, we went back to the beach and found six starfish! They were all 9 legged and were so neat to play with and hold and look at.
