| 30A is spring break destination. Sarasota and areas south of Sarasota are probably less of a spring breaker destination and the Gulf may be better beach for younger kids then the ocean. |

30A is WAY too cold for Spring Break for me. You can't swim in the water until at least end of April/May. |

Absolutely agree. We don’t go there before May. It’s too cold. |

Is Longboat Key Club open again? I believe they had damage from the last hurricane. We were there last year and loved it. We had a two bedroom which had a great kitchen and living room area. There is a Publix down the road and it is close (driving distance) to St. Armand’s Circle. |

Recovery is ongoing, but things are mostly back to normal. I would go. |

| I think New Smyrna near Cocoa has the most shark activity. |
