What are the best family-oriented beaches in Florida?

We’d like to take a day or weekend trip to a beach in Florida (we live in Kissimmee), and I’d like to know what beaches have the most to offer for a family (our son is 3). I don’t care how far the beach is from home, but I do care that it’s clean, family-oriented, and relatively safe. Please tell me all you can about whatever beach you recommend, including activities in the area, best places to stay, what the parking is like, how crowded, etc.

I’m originally from south Jersey, so my idea of a weekend at the shore is based on Wildwood and Ocean City NJ, with crowded beaches and the fabulous boardwalks. I’d like to find some new favorites here in Florida where we can start a family tradition of visiting often!

The most perfect place on earth..Seaside Florida. It is a planned community. Art, restaurants, shops, the beautiful white sugar sand beach, clear blue-green water. It is like something out of a movie. Children riding bikes, movies on the lawn in the evening, wine tasting. This place feels like a Disney movie. The tree-lined streets are home to seaside cottages. All the picket fences have to be different. You can buy anything you need here. It is about an hour east of Destin and an hour west of Panama City. The colorful adirondak chairs are a wonderful place to drink a rootbeer float. You can buy the most fabulous kite in the kite shop. Park your car and leave it. You won’t need it again. Everything is within walking distance. We return again and again.

    Try Sandestin. The Sandestin Gulf and Beach Resort is absolutely amazing, whether you travel as a couple or family. We stay at the Bayside Village but there are a lot of different choices. Another possibility would be the Village-which is GREAT!!! Their website link is below. Happy traveling…
