There's not much in the way of corals untill you go
farther south like Miami, Napels, Keys. But there
are some sparce coral spots in deaper water farther
north (Im not sure of those locations) If you want a
popular beach nearest you, Datona Beach is very
popular. Jacksonvill is still quite north and gets
colder in the winter. Winter lows are about 10
degrees warmer for about every 60 to 120 miles you
go south.

Thanks for the info, Wayne...

I am booking my flight and it looks like I will only have
Friday evening and Saturday before noon as free time...
Not a lot.

I know that north side, "Atlantic Beach" is flat and sandy.
Where will be the first place on the Atlantic side with more
"rocky" shore? I bet I would have more chances to find some
interesting creatures wading on a rocky shore than sandy beach.
