In between are even more family-friendly beaches and long stretches of unpopulated sands fronting beautiful houses. Seashells cover most, but Bowman’s Beach is known for its selections.

The Outdoors!
Florida is the home to miles of sandy beaches, canals and preserves. Take a dip in the Gulf of Mexico, catch some rays or catch a kayak and venture through the mangroves in one of our many preserves.
Was einpacken?
Sunscreen and bug spray!
Don't forget to bring the sunscreen. Sun burns will sneak up on you, even on a cloudy day. With so much nature surrounding you the bugs definitely like to get in on the action, a good bug spray is a must, especially around sunrise and sunset.
You'll also need some swimwear and in the summer loose fitting clothing to keep you cool and layers in the winter months.
