Siesta Key Beach outside of Tampa has been rated one of the best beaches in the country and it's pretty affordable to stay in the area.

Visit Florida? no I live, work, and most of all party in Miami. Honestly, the ocean is wonderful down here. For a wedding you I would use Fort. Lauderdale Beach (Las Olas area) If you need any ideas or help w/ne thing let me know. I live in South Florida so it won't be ne problem. What kind of a reception do you want? Let me know what you want and I will be your guide. I have a website for beach wedding they are wonderful. I will post it in a min

Take him to the Keys. Altough I live in Tampa area & love Fort Desoto Beach. It's more for families with children. You need to sneak off to a little place that won't be swarming with yelling children. Plus theres a lot of activity that you could enjoy down there

Thanks Tracey, I will definitely look up Siesta Key.

And thank you SO much Trina for your quick response to help with so much. I'll already have my wedding and reception venue picked, here in GA, but I just want to Honeymoon in FL. Since you do live down there I'm sure you know the best places to stay. Where would you suggest to stay for our honeymoon?

Jamie, the keys sound great, but i bet their expensive. Do you know how much? Have you visited the keys?

Most ppl I know that have never been here have a very small idea of how Mia is. What do you guys like to do? Then I can give you an idea

We stayed at the http://www.turtlebeachresort.com/ in Siesta Key for our honeymoon in 2005 and had a great experience. Like Tracey said they have beaches that are like granulate flour. All of the rooms had hot tubs, you have use of canoes, a small pool, grills, bikes, and more.

Our room was the only one, but you could watch the sunset from the hot tub.

Plus it's very secluded. We stayed during the week and felt like we were the only ones there.

I second Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota. I will be there in December, for Christmas, but I go a few times a year anyway, as my parents live there.

Sanibel Island is also beautiful and much more secluded.

Just don't go in August! It's Africa hot!!!

honestly it depends on what kind of couple you are. it you are more laid back and not into partying then Sarasota is fine. For me that's not something a place I would visit. But it's nice there

I have been to Fort Walton Beach and Panama City. They are both in the panhandle. Even though they are not technically near the ocean, they have gorgeous white beaches. I just love them and can't wait to visit them again.

Lucky you are so right.

i love panama city beach but i visted st george island the other week and i loved it it would be perfect for a honeymoon

Sanibal Island is beautiful
I use to go there as a kid when we visit family in Ft Myers.
I live in Jacksonville, FL now,... couldn't imagine living more than an hour away from a beach!

I used to live near Siesta key outside of Tampa. The beaches are great and the temps are usually warm all year round with the ocassional cold fronts that do come through. There are also other local beaches nearby that has a lot of things to do including many souvinear shots for those who likes to shop. Clearwater Beach is one of those areas. As far as the nightlife while there you have Ybor City or some of the clubs located on the beaches. The beaches in the pan handle are very nice as someone mentioned.

Siesta Key has the most beautiful white sand - it's in Sarasota - West Coast.

I live in Florida. Siesta Key, Anna Maria, Bradenton area, and Clearwater beaches are great! The Keys are expensive to stay but it is nice in the Key West area.

i would definitely check out turtlebeach resort its beautiful & I had a great experience there as well!!!

I love Clearwater and St. Pete beach. but I hear Anna Maria is gorgeous.

I would start in Miami beach for a few days then work your way down to Key West. Definitely rent a convertible too!
