The best of the beaches in Florida have been highlighted by a British newspaper.
According to the Telegraph, those planning a beach-based holiday in Florida should look no further than three locations: Caladesi Island State Park to the east of Tampa, Anna Maria Beach and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park.
The first in particular was recently named as the number one beach in North America. Despite that accolade, the sandy expanses at Dunedin are rarely overcrowded, observed the newspaper.
A trip to Anna Maria Island, just off Sarasota Bay, is necessary to enjoy the "Persil-white" sands of Anna Maria Beach, but those who cross the drawbridge on Manatee Avenue should discover a taste of old, unspoiled Florida.
The island's Chamber of Commerce recommends visiting between May and October, when sea turtles arrive onshore to hatch their eggs. However, holidaymakers should try not to disturb these shy creatures.
Bill Baggs at Key Biscayne, meanwhile, is a boat trip away from Miami and offers escapism from the buzz of the city. It is the perfect place in which to add some wildlife spotting to a Florida holiday.
