Yes, we DO have some of the best beaches anywhere and we're glad the interns noticed

So now that the weather is a little cooler and the sun isn't beating down as hard and the snowbirds haven't arrived yet, the beaches are a terrific place to be. Those facts weren't lost on the folks at the Tampa Bay Times. The editors sent out some of their interns to write about the beaches. Imagine? Well, several of our favorite nearby beaches made the cut. Here's a first-rate article that tells what the folks who live here already know: we have some darned fine beaches in St. Pete Beach, Pass-a-Grille, Fort de Soto Park, and Shell Key. Technology being what it is today, they even took a drone along and got some beautiful video and photos of our favorite beaches. Enjoy!
