What colors will the beach show us today? At
dawn, sand, sea and sky are tinged with the soft
pink of a tropical sunrise. At mid-day, the water
may be clear turquoise revealing a white sandbar
below, or a smooth-as-glass mirror, reflecting blue
skies and fluffy white clouds. By late afternoon the
silvery sea sparkles like a blanket of diamonds.
Moments after the sun melts soundlessly into
the horizon, Mother Nature often paints the sky
in her most brilliant hues of purple, orange and
gold. Each day brings a new color palette, just
as each beach along our 30-mile coastline has
its own personality. From romantic enclaves to
family-friendly beach parks dotted with colorful
umbrellas, complete with food, facilities and beach
rentals, to perfect spots for yoga and meditation,
there's a beach for every mood.
Some outfitters, such as
OldNaplesSurfShop.com,

paddleboards and more right
to you at the beach. Check
