I looked through the threads in the FL forum and realized there is no "favorite beach" thread.
So......what is your favorite beach in FL and why?
My vote is for Ft. DeSoto on the southern tip of Pinellas county:

Ft. DeSoto is a Florida beach w/out all the development/condos/homes, very pristine.
2nd place would be the beach on Marco Island
