There are lots of spots. As long as you are in the Keys, I would be sure to hit Key West as well. Even if there isn't wind there are things to do and see for a family. You could do a road trip to Jupiter up the east coast. There are nice waves there and things for the family to do in the area. Ft. Lauderdale has things for the family too but you need to be sure conditions will allow you to head close to dead offshore and stay beyond 100 yards until time to come in. The small launch is in the middle of a lifeguarded area. Pompano Beach by Hillsboro Inlet is another scenic area to checkout. There is more information in the top two stickies at

Our plan is to spend a week or so in the Keys and then possibly venture out to another area. In the past, we've traveled along the East coast (West Palm Bch, Lake Worth, Fort Lauderdale, Miami).
We'd like to check out another area within half-day's drive from the Keys (or Florida City) that offers great kiting and family friendly attractions/activites (ie not so crowded beach, stuff to see/do for 5yr old, scenic coastal roads for cycling). For kiting, a spot with decent waves would be nice seeing as how I might tire of flatwater after being in the Keys. I do enjoy a good strapless surf session as much as flatwater.
Can you recommend a good location that meets the above?
Thanks in advance.
