Also don't trust the gps numbers on Google Earth.
I've found it to be extremely faulty. But if you
have not tryed Google Earth, you should.

I've never walked that shore. I have been to Datona Beach a few times.
Another thing you will want to keep in mind is that there is so much
built up around the shore, that it is often hard to find a place to
park, or to get access. But as far as rock, that would be areas where
rocks were dumped. And this would not be a normal swimming area.

Now at Tampa, there is a cauwsway that has both rocky and sandy areas
for swimming and boating.

Also do a google earth and look at the area before you go down.

Are you familiar with google earth?

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.
