Hotels in Florida Gulf Coast, United States

Florida Gulf Coast stretches from Tampa Bay to the Everglades, famous for its sugar-white sand beaches and calm, warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Summers hit 90°F (32°C) with afternoon thunderstorms, perfect for kayaking in the mangroves of Sarasota or hunting for seashells on Sanibel Island, while mild winters around 70°F (21°C) are ideal for fishing off the pier at Fort Myers Beach or catching a sunset at Clearwater Beach. Spring brings fewer crowds for dolphin-watching cruises out of Naples, and winter weekends draw visitors to the historic fishing village of Tarpon Springs for authentic Greek sponge diving demonstrations.
