With the end of summer approaching for most of us in the Northern hemisphere, I wanted to share one of my favorite things about summer (and living in Florida): the beach

Every year I go with my family to Anna Maria Island, a beach town near Bradenton/Sarasota here in Florida. It’s a small island, connected by a few bridges but it’s mostly for families and “in the know” Floridians (people who live in Florida don’t usually go to the same beaches as most people visiting Florida do, at least in my experience).

The water every year is crystal clear and warm when I go in July, usually about 88ºF (31º C) most days, rain is scarce and passes through quick and of course the beaches are white sand. It’s one of my favorite places on Earth, bar none.

And of course, it’s impossible to beat a good Florida beach sunset.
