A group of us are going to Siesta Key in March. What can you tell me about this place? (golf, nightlife, bars, etc). We are staying at a condo on Crescent Beach.
86 degrees + sunny + holiday weekend = crowds.Currently here right now.
Beach is still very nice but way too many people. Traffic and parking was brutal too.
Would not recommend unless coming early and on a weekday when there's less people.
I hear you but a lot of people still have to work on Good Friday. I think this place just has gotten more popular over the past 5 or 10 years and thus more people. This is my fear for Sanibel. Time will tell I guess.86 degrees + sunny + holiday weekend = crowds.Currently here right now.

Go to the Bahi Hut Tiki Lounge before dark for a Mai Tai. One of my favorite total dive bars in Florida. I hear it gets sketchy at night, but it's my favorite place to get obliterated in the afternoon. I can always talk the bartenders into letting me exceed the 2 Mai Tai limit.
2 Mai Thai limit at a dive bar? That's odd.86 degrees + sunny + holiday weekend = crowds.Currently here right now.

Could be, it's been a few years since I've spent a weekend out there. Tell Dr. Beach or whoever to stop calling it the "#1 beach in America."I hear you but a lot of people still have to work on Good Friday.

They're insane. They're huge and almost ALL alcohol. There's got to be 6-8 oz of booze in each one, at a minimum. 3 of them is like drinking a fifth of hard liquor in a couple hours. Many people can't handle that. Place is a total dump, but you feel like you're in an episode of Hawaii Five-O (the Jack Lord version) when you're in there. Marvelously retro. Also smells like a melange of old smoke and ass.2 Mai Thai limit at a dive bar? That's odd.86 degrees + sunny + holiday weekend = crowds.Currently here right now.

Del Boca Vista.Spring break in Florida crowded?
Love both Siesta and Long Boat. You want to see something crazy, look at google maps from about Ft. Meyers down to Naples. The number of golf course communities is mind-boggling.

Seriously? I love that place, but rarely recommend it to anyone. I can imagine those used to rubbing elbows with the beau monde would be wildly disappointed.Ha, one of my favorite places86 degrees + sunny + holiday weekend = crowds.Currently here right now.

Is that a notorious gay area? I have very little familiarity with the DE coast, just happened to have a buddy whose parents had a condo in Fenwick Island that they gave him every summer so we'd party down there from time to time.BillyBarooo said:nttawwteoMMan said:Did you get any at Rehoboth Beach, DE?Evilgrin 72 said:Apple Jack said:Ok ok.

exceptionally. Fenwick, OCMD, and Dewey are all great areas. Rehoboth used to be the family spot with its boardwalk and large amusement park. It may still have that element but it's definitely an area full of pride these days. again, nttawwtIs that a notorious gay area?

Boca Grande is at the top of the list. Not another place like it in Florida.We should do a FL beach ranking one day...
My preliminary list, of the ones I've been to and probably leaving off a few, I'd say:
1. Fort Lauderdale Beach (include Hollywood Beach and Lauderdale By The Sea here cause all are close)
2. Blind Pass Beach (Sanibel)
3. Bonita Beach (Bonita Springs)
4. Indian Rocks Beach
5. Siesta Key
497. Fort Myers Beach
I generally like waves (east coast beaches win here), clearer water, not so many people, good parking, not too much traffic getting to beach, decent sand (don't really care if it's powder or sand-sand), etc.
Yeah, Vero Beach, Cocoa Beach....all solid.The beaches in Vero are wonderful as well...
I'm not saying Siesta Key is a bad place. I just like things a little more isolated. Sanibel is crowded these days but that's a kickass place. So beautiful.Yes, Boca Grande is a cool spot. Also have spent a fair amount of time drinking and fishing on Pine Island. Doesn't mean Siesta Key isn't a kickass beach.
Lauderdale is awful. It's like University of ########. Like, I'm on a 168 foot megayacht. It's not actually my megayacht, I just, uh, wipe the asses of rich people while they charter it. But here, I'm going to act like an arrogant, entitled, rich kid brat anyway even though i'm 35, broke and owe my coke dealer for the eight ball he fronted me last night! Combine that with the meathead population. Oof. For obligations only.
AgreedYeah, Vero Beach, Cocoa Beach....all solid.The beaches in Vero are wonderful as well...
The beaches on the Atlantic side don't measure up to those on the Gulf side and certainly not to Siesta Key.AgreedYeah, Vero Beach, Cocoa Beach....all solid.The beaches in Vero are wonderful as well...
