With one of the largest territories in the world, the United States offers a little bit of everything for travelers. First-class metropolises, traditional towns and, of course, beautiful beaches. But, When it comes to choosing the best places that offer sun, sand and sea, Florida has to be at the top and a recent listing proves it.
For ten years, Dr. Stephen Leatherman, better known as Dr. Beach, has been responsible for reviewing, evaluating and classifying beaches and coastal areas around the world. In its annual ranking of the best beaches in the United States in 2024, Two destinations in Florida stood out.
In the number four place in the classification, the Caladesi Island State Park in Dunedin Clearwater, a city located in Pinellas County, Florida. This would be the most beautiful beach in the Sunshine State in 2024.
You can reach Caladesi via a ferry, on private boats and even taking a long walk north from Clearwater Beach, since it is no longer an island.
You will not regret coming to this place that will offer you white sand that is soft and comfortable to step on at the water’s edge. Besides, the landscape is made up of crystal clear waters in which you can swim.
You can also enjoy the kayak and canoe trails through the mangroves to see the flora and local fauna including blue herons.
The other option in Florida is Delnor-Wigginns Pass State Park in Naples, which ranked number eight on the list. Here you will find a beach with white sand and crystal clear Gulf waters.
You can do various water activities such as swimming, snorkeling, rowing and fishing. Also enjoy wildlife including bald eagles, ospreys, and manatees. However, the list mentions that the park is still recovering from Hurricane Ian in 2022, so some areas remain closed.
