The west coast of Florida is famous for its white-sand beaches, snowbirds, and sunsets.

Pick a beach, any beach! Almost every beach is a prime viewing location for the planet’s most spectacular sunsets; Relax and unwind as you watch the giant ball of fire slowly sink into the Gulf of Mexico giving way to the deepest hues of red, yellow, and purple skies.
