West Coast FL help

[KenP]

Who lives there and what city? Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel. Any info would be great for any city on the West Coast.

Oh, preferably a more conservative area.

I haven't been there recently, but I used to go to Sanibel/Captiva Island almost every weekend when I lived in Miami. Are you looking for general info or what? Sanibel had been known as having one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, at one time it was in the top 10... silky sand and the most unbelieveable shells you've ever seen. The shells roll in constantly from the gulf .. you see people 'shelling' on the beach at all hours, especially at low tide. Very peaceful. I loved it. Lots of clean little 'mom and pop' motels .. up to the big chain hotels. My favorite beach city on Fla's west coast.

Sarasota .. Home of the Circus .. Barnum and Bailey? Trim little town.
Tarpon Springs .. big Greek settlement/influence. Lots of sponge items from the sponge fishermen.
Naples .. great Ritz-Carlton.

Sanibel is at the top of the list. We're just looking at other areas. I like the idea of being along the coast on the water.

Isnt FL on the East cost?

meh I lived in Ft. Myers for about 3 years. Believe it or not it is basically a working class retirement area. It is full of rednecks also. Same with Cape Coral. Sanibel is okay, but I prefer the beach in teh sunny isles beach area of Miami and the also the Aventura area of Miami is nice to live.

Mmmm Sanibel....

Indian Rocks beach... upscale and nice. Close to Tampa.

But to be honest move to the Mtn's of NC..

[usmcman001]

I have lived in NC and FL...If you love the nice weather move to FL...Rains alot some months but its usually late. NC is just as hot as FL during the summer. Sometimes warmer!!! Clearwater Fl is beautiful and coservative. Tampa is close by and has alot to do. The beaches are great and fishing is better than ever lately. If thats your deal. Check out St petersburg also. Nice place a little more crime and gangstas!!! All in all its nice as hell here. Down south is nice but more expensive and less to do...

[Hmmm2]

Tampa/St. Pete always depressed me. Take a look at the billboards ALL over and around those two adjoining cities ... all for mortuarys. Lots of seniors .. thus the mortuary/cemetary signage for 'pre-planning'. Miami Beach/South Beach is way too commercialized now. Adventura north is nice, but nothing to do. Naples on the west is pricey .. Sanibel/Captiva Island are getting taken a bit by commercialism, but still family-friendly .. still peaceful, relaxing beaches without the hoards .. though beware of 'no-seeum' times of the year(pesty little gnat type bugs that give bites like sand fleas ... check for what the season is with the Chamber Of Commerce for Sanibel Island). Now, higher up on the eastern side of Florida is St. Augustine. St. Augustine is still a nice, pristine area with great seafood restaurants and lots of original Spanish flavor. Are you planning a vacation?

Yes... permanently.

We've heard good things about Sarasota.

Fort Myers is out, but Fort Myers Beach looks good. Not full of old timers waiting to pass.

I don't think I could afford to park a camper in his neighborhood.

Edit, just checked and yes we could. We just couldn't move to his street, that's for sure.

Pee-Wee Herman is from Sarasota... unless they ran him out of town after that movie theatre incident he had years ago.

HAHA! My daughter just busted the Muffin lady on Co's avatar! HI!

Ken! We live between the beach and the mountains. AND! Our Mountains are still blowing up and stuff. Kinda cool.
