Called the Sunshine State for a reason, Florida is the perfect getaway for bright days, clear skies, and breathtaking sunsets. Whether you choose to visit Miami, West Palm Beach, or lesser-known Bradenton Beach and Sunny Isles Beach, they all have one thing in common: amazing beaches that are great for swimming, surfing, dipping your toes into the fine white sand, and sunbathing under Florida’s warm sunshine. All these perks can also make Florida’s beaches some of the most crowded on the East Coast. However, there’s a solution for that – booking a hotel that has its private beach area away from the crowds. Check out our list of the best hotels with private beach in Florida, USA.
