Filled with pictures and
practical tips, this user-friendly paperback guidebook
offers down-to-earth, detailed advice about the 24 best
ocean- and gulf-front camping areas in Florida for both
tent and
RV campers.
From Fort Clinch in the northeast, down to Big Pine Key,
and over to the Gulf Islands off Pensacola, Molloy
selected these state and national parks for their scenic
beauty, recreation potential, and proximity to the
Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. His list includes
everything from ultra-rustic to highly developed sites,
all compactly organized by geographic region.
Accounts of each site feature:
- an overview of both the
site and the surrounding area;
- a description of the
shoreline and its features;
- details of the campground,
including pictures, amenities,
and seasonal features;
- notes on the human and
natural history of the surrounding
area;
- guides to local activities,
from snorkeling to bike trails;
- descriptions of local
attractions, shopping, and dining opportunities;
- essentials of how to make
reservations and get there,
including phone numbers, driving directions, size
of
campsite, facilities, regulations, and more.
For visitors and residents,
retirees, college students, and families
with children, this book will simplify the coastal
camping
experience. Johnny Molloy has done the research and
provided
the best selections from over 1,350 miles of shoreline so
that you
can easily enjoy the best of the Sunshine State.
