It’s long been said that the beaches on Florida’s Gulf Coast are the state’s finest, even if they don’t receive as much publicity as Daytona, Miami, or Fort Lauderdale. Gulf Islands National Seashore confirms that statement, without question. The sand is bright, clean, and sparkling. It even squeaks under your feet. Special Attractions: Numerous walks along the Gulf including the nation’s top ranked beach, Perdido Key. Also, several historical exhibits, including old Fort Pickens.
