Florida Coastal Road Trip

Good news: the Gulf Coast is full of incredible destinations. Even better news? We know exactly where you should go to enjoy the best possible Florida coastal road trip!

Don’t try to hit all ten beaches in one shot, pick a cluster and explore it slowly on one of our street-legal golf carts. Vacations in Florida are cooler that way, at least that’s what we believe at Beach Ride Rental.

Which Are the Best Beaches Near Clearwater Beach?

Clearwater Beach is the big hitter, with Pier 60 being the obvious starting point, but there’s no point in limiting your Florida beach itinerary to just this spot.

Head south to Sand Key Park for a different stretch of Gulf shoreline, then keep going to Belleair Beach and Morgan Beach Park.

From there, head over to Indian Rocks Beach, which gives you another beach stop plus the Indian Rocks Beach Nature Preserve, the kind of Gulf Coast vacation destination tailor-made for nature lovers.

Finish with lunch at Guppy’s On the Beach or The Original Crabby Bill’s, and voila, you’ve spent a whole day in some of the best Florida beach towns to explore by golf cart.

Which Are the Best Beaches Near Indian Shores and Redington Beach?

Indian Shores is one of those beach towns near Clearwater Beach where you can just take things slow: Start at Tiki Gardens Beach Access, then stop by the Seaside Seabird Sanctuary before heading south.

From there, Redington Shores and Redington Beach are just a short drive away.

This stretch is less about big-name attractions and more about beach hopping in Florida the way we like it: swim for a while, grab lunch nearby, then keep moving when another stretch of Gulf looks better.

Which Are the Best Beaches Around Madeira Beach and Treasure Island?

Madeira Beach is easy to turn into a full day without covering much ground. Start at Archibald Memorial Beach Park, then head to John’s Pass Village & Boardwalk for waterfront food, shops, and marina views.

From there, keep going south into Treasure Island, a must-visit destination for your Florida weekend beach getaway; The beach opens up, the pace changes, and Sunset Beach gives you an easy place to finish the day.

This is one of the best Florida beach destinations by golf cart because the stops naturally build on each other. Beach first. John’s Pass when everyone gets hungry. Treasure Island when the group is ready to keep moving.

Which Are the Best Beaches Near St. Pete Beach?

St. Pete Beach is better when you keep moving. Start at Upham Beach, spend some time around Corey Avenue, then head south once the afternoon starts cooling off.

Pass-a-Grille is another must for your Florida beach vacation. You’ve got the historic district, local shops, Merry Pier, Paradise Grille, and a long Gulf shoreline all packed into a small area.

Alone, both St. Pete Beach and Pass-a-Grille are amazing Florida vacation ideas. Together? You get beach time, food, local stops, and sunset without wasting half the day moving a car from one crowded lot to the next.
