Gulf coast beaches
Can anyone suggest a gulf area beach that is good for a day trip? Would like to have access to some type of shower facility if possible, even if it is a beach shower just to rinse off the salt water and sand.
We are planning an anniversary trip to "Orlando" for late October....We are doing the Food and Wine festival at EP but that is probably all we will do Disney wise  because we will be back in Dec. for the family trip.Any other suggestions of (dare I say it  ) non Disney activities that we would enjoy?Thanks!

Re: Gulf coast beaches
In May we took a day trip (approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes each way) to Sarasota Siesta Key beach. It was by far the most beautiful beach I've seen in a long time. It has concessions, showers, picnic tables, and the most beautiful baby powder sand I've ever seen. And btw, parking is free.

Re: Gulf coast beaches
I checked out Siesta Key's website and it looks perfect. Thanks again to the MB family for their wonderful responses

Re: Gulf coast beaches
those Siesta Key photos are so gorgeous! We spent the day at Fort DeSoto beach and had a wonderful time. It's a state park, we paid a couple of bucks in tolls and the parking was free. I hope to return some time soon. Link to my flickr pics:
