Love the Sanibel lighthouse area, big sweet beaches but can get crowded with shellers and parking can fill up fast. Now my brother has a place in Jupiter and I cant wait to hit there this New Years, it reminds me of Newport/Pt Judith beaches here in RI but with warm water :mrgreen:

Nice summary of conditions and preferences, pretty accurate too! Although the west coast doesn't have a corner on fickle wind necessarily. Riding can be excellent throughout the entire state but there are different trends. Hope you get some good wind conditions and nice swells while you're in Jupiter.

Who else out there has found stuff they like when visiting Florida? Where and what was it and what appealed to you?
