Coquina Beach

"Best beach on the gulf coast! View is fantastic and the sand is pure white and soft! Only beach I frequent when visiting mom!"

"This is HOME away from Home. I absolutely love going here. There is always parking but you must get here early before 9am. Always white sand beaches, shells, sunshine, and relaxation."

"This has become my favorite beach, uts just beautiful. The changing stations, plenty parking spots, WEEKDAY, I can't imagine it being this way on a weekend. The place is just breathtaking."

"Very nice beach. The parking is an absolute mess though. It took so long to park but a lady let me have her spot. You've got to be real careful. I almost got hit multiple times. They have changing rooms and foot showers. We did not use it. The beach is pretty clean. There really isn't any trash or trash cans in it around the beach. I didn't see any bathrooms. The water was beautiful but it was full of people and seaweed. People say these beaches are good for shell finding but I didn't find many at all and most were broken. It was hot out and the sand was pretty hot. This Beach was pretty busy. People said Cortez and coquina beach are not that busy. Maybe it's the day I went but man was it full."

"Beautiful beach, with a casual vibe where you park on the sand and don't pay for parking. There is a Vendor Market open to the public on Sunday and Wednesday from 10-4, that offers different home-made foods, crafts, and fun things to buy from local artists. The Vendor Market is in a cool, wooded area adjacent to the beach. This location also has a cafe' right on the beach with public restrooms. The beach itself is beautiful, with an abundance of shells (especially after a storm), and the water is turquoise blue. However the best part is Sunset, with the west exposure looking into the Gulf of Mexico."
