If you go to St. Petersburg don't miss the Dali Museum.

Sand is probably the best I’ve seen
New Smyrna Beach is a great place to hang out. St Peters beach is good too.
We're giving Navarre Beach a try next month. Heard good things about that as well.
I promised my kids that when they were good, strong swimmers I'd take them to Hawaii for warm-water snorkeling. They had to wait almost ten years because of the expense... so we went to the Florida Keys instead.
Most of the trip expense: plane flights from Bay Area, accommodations, rental car, activities, food, etc, for the snorkeling trip to the Keys, some alligator time at the edge of the Everglades, and one day at Miami Beach, costed about the same as only plane tickets for Bay Area to Hawaii.
Maybe a reason South Florida was cheaper than Hawaii was we went during my kids' Easter Break time, missing the South Florida Spring Break tsunami by a week. In late spring the weather was warm but not so brutally hot. We only got skunked one day for thunderstorms.
Road trip to several cities? St. Augustine? Sarasota? St. Petersburg?
