Yes, it is the shark capital of the world but that doesn't mean you shouldn't visit. We frequent this beach as much as possible, with only a 30 mile drive. Nothing beats that sweet spot between the waves where you can just bobble around. During winter months we love to ride our bikes on the beach. Do keep track of the tides though. We usually go when the tide is going out it is the most enjoyable time. Great restaurants downtown to satisfy the appetites after a day in the sun. Two of our favorite places to go is wake up cafe for breakfast and Panheads for pizza.

In the summer it is a great way to cool off while floating the place where 100's of manatee call home during the winter months. The park offers great picnic areas and a wonderful boardwalk to enjoy views of the spring. You can rent floatation devices right at the park or bring your own. Do arrive early though because the park gets very busy during the summer especially on weekends and also during winter to see the Manatee.
