Small town question (Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa: condo, subdivision, beach)

[LJP1]

Hi, Can any tell me if this list of towns are on the coast line, no more than 10 miles to the ocean? http://www.city-data.com/city/Florida2.html Many thanks in advance for any help.

Thats quite a list. I'd suggest you use the Google map function to see how close to where you want to be each of these are.

I can give you a few.....
Bokeelia, on water, N end Pine Island
St James City, on water, S end of Pine Island
Alva, about 30-40 miles inland NE of Ft Myers
Homosassa, absolutly beautiful place on river and gulf, 35 milesish N of St Pete
Mulberry, deep inland S central state , about 40 miles E of Tampa(great place if you like old cars/trucks)
Williston, deep inland roughly 30 miles NW of Gainesville

Some of the places on that list really arent separate entities, like Punta Rassa, is really just a condo development that straddles the Sanibel causeway and the mouth of the Caloosahatchee river, and Ft Myers Shores is more of a subdivision east of Ft Myers situated on south shore of the river.

I'm over on the east coast now for a couple of months and I miss the sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. However, the beaches on the Atlantic are also very pretty and, in Vero Beach, they're very clean. I really like the beach parks that are open to the public (free) with changing rooms, bathrooms, outdoor showers and picnic tables. Some have barbecues and a few have vending machines, just in case you forgot to take a beverage along, which is essential in this heat. The water is also very blue and there are often lots of waves, so I guess each coast has its own beautiful characteristics.

Just want to say that this same OP has been on several forums. Same question, same poster. Here's one.

Anyone can use Mapquest, Yahoo or Google maps to get the answer.

Just did a search, and there's even the same post by the same person in the Jacksonville, Miami and Ocala forums.
