We love the beach and went to Ponce Inlet at the very end of Daytona beach.
You can drive your car onto the beach and the sand is lovely.
This beach is very popular with the local surfers.

We have friends who live in Sarasota and this year they took us to Siesta Key beach it was fabulous and the water was lovely and warm. I am not a beach person but will definitely go back there again next visit.
We have spent time in St.petes,and Clearwater which we love and sarasota and naples which are wonderful but the past two visits we just went to Cocoa Beach which is so easily accessable , just down Nova Road from Kissimmee ,Oh my husband just reminded me we also visited the wonderful beach at St. Augustine this year .I find now when I rent a super vila in Orlando and they are practically all super , I dont want to be away from it for longer than one night so a day trip to the beach does us fine .

Hi Kevin,
Like Olive we discovered St. Augustine this year and must agree the beaches are fabulous and not too far for a day trip from Orlando.
We also loved Daytona Beach - straight up the I-4 and just over an hour from Orlando. We packed a picnic in our coolbox and drove onto the beach. (Sand is hard-packed so don't need a 4 wheel-drive).
St.Pete's Beach won a recent poll for the best beach in Florida - we do love St.Pete's but you must watch out for the sting-rays. I believe the 'sting-ray shuffle season is May to October! but still worth a trip - again just over an hour from 4 Corners.
Enjoy whichever beach you choose,
Jeanette & family
Although I have not been there myself yet, a friend of mine highly recommends Clearwater.[msncool]
Our favourite beach out on the Gulf Coast is Sand Key Park. Again a State maintained park with plenty of facilities ie "proper toilets", showers, vending machines for drinks and snacks.
Set behind the beach are BBQ pit areas and grassy areas with children's playground equipment.
The beach is wide and sandy with monitored life guards and also "alcohol" checkers, just making sure you have nothing more than sodas in your cool box.
Sea is nice and warm and perfect for swimming.
Sand Key Park can be reached by driving out of Clearwater along the coastal road and it is just on the right hand side as you pass over the bridge.
Car Parking is metered and requires quarters.
