Beach and Coastal Camping in Florida

by Johnny Molloy

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.
