In the past, we’ve seen just how diverse the beaches are here in our little part of paradise. And when you own a home in Southwest Florida, you learn to keep a list of your favorite ones for any occasion. But what if you’re new to the area?
Well, the team at Records Results Real Estate has the perfect list for you. When it comes to these beaches, in most cases, they’re a little more well-known. Although that means there might be bigger crowds on the weekend, these beaches remain Florida favorites for a reason. And each one is a must-see for new residents in Southwest Florida!
Siesta Key is Perfect for New Residents to Southwest Florida
Siesta Key Beach is probably one of the most famous ones, along with a few others. And when you visit it, you’ll see why. The quaint strip around the beach is perfect for enjoying yourself, while the sugar sand is absolutely beautiful. In many ways, this beach is the perfect example of just how amazing Florida beaches can be. But make sure to arrive earlier to beat the crowds.
Boca Grande is a Hidden Gem Loved by Locals
A little more hidden, the beaches on Boca Grande are a real treat, especially if you’re a new resident. In fact, these beaches are well-known by many locals due to their stunning blue waters. In addition, the fishing around Boca Grande is said to be incredibly decent by those in-the-know. Because Boca Grande is off-the-beaten-path, you’ll be able to enjoy them without huge crowds, but keep in mind, that they’re still fairly popular among locals.
Bowman’s Beach Offers Unsurpassed Shelling
If you’ve ever visited Sanibel Island or you’re thinking about buying a home on Sanibel, you know that several of the beaches are popular. Yet, they all remain fairly less crowded than many other beaches throughout the world. My favorite, and one I always recommend for new residents in Southwest Florida, is Bowman’s Beach. The shelling is second to none at this one!
Fort Myer’s Beach Provides Fun Without Huge Crowds
Of course, I couldn’t leave off this one for our new residents. Fort Myer’s Beach is definitely a bit more tourist-feeling than some of our other choices here, but it still tends to fly under the radar. This is especially true when you compare it to other beaches in the state that draw huge crowds. At the same time, Fort Myer’s Beach is a fun stop to hang out at and catch some sun.
Lover’s Key is a Retreat You Have to See
Another must-see for new residents to SWFL, Lover’s Key is one you have to see to believe. As a state park, it gives visitors and residents a chance to kayak untouched Florida lands. But the real treat is the beach, where you can experience one of the best beaches in the entire world… without the crowds.
