I am trying to put together a last minute spring break vacation for the family probably somewhere in Florida. Last year someone suggested we go to Destin and we loved it. Is there any other recomendations anyone has. Looking for something close to the ocean, nice beach, etc. Also, if you know any good resorts let me know.

Navarre Beach (also on the panhandle) is also very nice.

Naples/Ft Myers area is great, spent New Years there last year. Tampa area is also nice. Key West always rocks!!

Siesta Key, Sarasota. Beautiful soft white fine sand. Just be sure and wear your sunscreen sun bounces off the sand. You can get burned in places you never imagined.

Silver Springs in Ocala is a great theme park for family time.

St. Augustine is a good family day too. Marineland is just south of there and the kids can play with dolphins.
