Florida Buggy Beaches
I'm heading to Florida mid January for a month or so.
I welcome any suggestions and info on good places to Buggy.
Of coarse I have to stop by Jekyll Island on the way and enjoy their beautiful uncrowded beach and nice bike paths.
Thanks
Pleasant Breezes,

Having just spent 6 weeks there, I can say that the open beaches were hard to find.
The first two weeks I went to a few places and had trouble finding open beaches.
Treasure Island was good. It should be very empty in January.
Siesta key was a beautiful beach. However, the day I was there the line to the parking lot was 1 mile long and gridlocked. Nice beach though.
I went to St Augustine and the beach there would be great for buggy. I recommend going there.
Those are the only places I went. I went to TI, found it met my needs and did not venture elsewhere.
I have a buggy but it was stuck at home.

Hey Don
I have been to Treasure Island also. The beach is very wide and you can buggy there. Claxton has buggyed there for years. There should not be much
of a crowd in Jan.
Hope you have a good time.

Thanks for your suggestions.
I was at Treasure Island maybe 15 years ago for a Kite Fest. I had not even thought of Buggying at that time. Nice wide beach and definitely on my
list of stops.
Been to St Augustine say 10 years ago and borrowed a buggy for some newbe fun. It's on the list too.
Huguenot beach I'm looking forward to.
Under the category of "Life happens while we are busy making other planes", I will be postponing my Florida trip till next winter as I just got
accepted into a skilled volunteer program at a Retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii. Three months in Paradise all expenses paid.
I'm STOKED !
Sorry to say I will be missing NABX for the first time in many years.
Pleasant Breezes,

Stick to Anastasia State Park to avoid any legal entanglements. The local statutes are not friendly to us, but the park rangers are.
