    OT - Better Area to Visit for a Long Weekend in Florida?

    Siesta Key marina or CBs for boat rental (reserve early). Right across Stickney point or south bridge. It would be about a 45 boat ride to Jewfish from there and they will tell you it's out of their range to take the boat, but i mean should that stop you? However there are other places to...

    It can be tough to park at some of the beaches, but they just did a lot of parking lot work at Siesta to increase capacity. Get there a little early, like 1030 and you should be fine. You'll probably want to get off the beach and into the "Village" (that's the beach bar scene) around 230 as it...

    You want the West Coast OP. Fort Myers beach has a nice little beach dive bar scene and the Lanai Kai is a staple of beach drunkeness. Marco is also very pretty, sanibel is nice. However @Dhatguy is correct when he talks about Siesta Key. won't find a better beach outside of the panhandle...
