    Honeymoon Island and Anna Marie Island is just Wonderful! My sweet brother took me there once. The weather was so nice that day we ended up spending the whole day there.
  • @romanm9718
    Anna Maria Island is amazing and worthy of being number one. Traffic can be a nightmare on the weekends as I found out this this past weekend but the beaches are beautiful.
  • @FaithBlanaquePH
    Very clear and detailed!💗 I really love beaches and everything you've shown on this video is amazingly beautiful, just wow!
  • This video was put together very well, thank you for the info! 🙏🏽

    AHHHHH… my favorite American beach area; Pass-A-Grille beach!!!! After Mom married my step Dad, and I was aged 14, we’d been vacationing there every year since 1979. My step aunt Rosie and uncle Jep had moved there from CN in 1977, hence why we came to visit my newly acquired family. In near later years, unfortunately uncle Jep passed of brain cancer, and many years later, aunt Rosie passed of the same. While she was alive, a few members of my step family ensured aunt Rosies financial life by buying her home, paying her in a lump sum to invest, and then letting her live in her home for the rest of her life. It became the family home with the relatives coming down to stay with her, and maintaining her property, helping her with day to day, and still vacationing. Aunt Nadia held the largest share of 60%, so after aunt Rosie passed, aunt Nadia and uncle Don moved into it, and we were all still welcome. It was a fantastic time from the first day in 1979 through 2014 when aunt Nadia and uncle Don realised the property value had quadrupled, and we who were invested agreed to sell. We had bought it from aunt Rosie for a bit more than value at the time for 120k, and, well, do the math. I wanted to purchase it, but still had a mortgage on my residence, and two investment properties, and two young children, so I had to pass of buying it. I still miss that modest home of 1400sq ft 2 bed, 1 bath, seven miles in from Pass-A-Grille in St.Pete. It was always kept up but still maintained, perfectly, that 1952 early FL charm complete with tile roof, stucco exterior and FL-aqua coloured exterior amidst the neighbourhood of the same perfectly maintained original charm. BTW, Zillow (for what they’re worth) has it currently valued at $550k… lol. Oh well
  • @cagesrages
    Excellent video !! Love how you ranked them for their differences..
  • Absolutely stunning beach ! Absolutely incredible happy to watch your awesome video .
  • @chrispham7064
    Thanks for this video. Love Siesta Key beach ,great video.
  • @rhondalyn100
    Jamie and Skylar, this is my favorite video to date! I am sitting here in cold middle Tennessee this morning having already watched this video three times, Florida dreaming! What you did so well was to compare each of the beaches to the others with regard to desires of what one is looking for, whether an exciting bar/restaurant scene or a quiet secluded wonderland. You gave excellent reasons why each beach might appeal to who. Keep the vids coming, guys, I know it is a lot of work but you both have so much to offer. I see 100k subs in your future! On another note, I have a suggestion which I think might appeal to your audience: how about a video on how y'all got to Florida, what kind of work you each do beyond Youtube and what your hopes and dreams are for the future. I think your viewers might like to get to know y'all better which would help connect and encourage more subs. Thank you for a fantastic beach video on the mid west coast of Florida! Bravo! Rhonda
  • My husband and I absolutely love this video! We couldn’t agree more with your rankings! We agree with your #1 pic for obvious reasons as we live less than 8 miles from there, but shhhh don’t tell everyone the best beach lol. Keep it up you two, great job as always!!
  • Great video guys! Absolutely agree with your number 1! We visited Anna Maria in October and fell in love...it's the perfect mix of so much to do while still feeling laid back....not to mention the pristine beaches! My husband and I still have a long list of beaches we'd live to visit in Florida so this video really helps us choose where to go to next....keep these videos comin'! 🙂
  • Wow, so many amazing looking beaches! I see why Anna Maria is your favorite. The free parking sold me! The beautiful views didn’t hurt either. I loved how you explained all the pros and cons of each beach in this one. Very well done!
  • Thank you for this very informative video. I’ve watched most of your videos, and this really explains the differences of the beaches. I’ve been to half on this list and because of your very helpful video I will be traveling to more. I really love Madeira beach. This beach checks all my boxes. It has nightlife, daytime entertainment on the beach, JohnsPass, many food options, and it’s a more laid back non crowded beach. I love how you include all the pluses and minuses each area has to offer.
  • @metarus208
    thank you! thank you! we used this video as our Tampa Bay guide for Dec 2022
  • @melissadavis167
    We LOVE Anna Maria island we visit from Canada at least once per year . Love your videos !
  • Soon enough we will move down to Florida and I will have to rewatch all your videos and take careful notes then. You two are the experts of Florida and its beautiful beaches, this is an amazing list and just watching this video and seeing all those beaches make me so happy! :)
