We stayed for a week in Sebastian FL, real close to the Atlantic coast.  It was fairly warm every day – in the 70s and low 80s – and comfortable at night in the 60s which was GREAT for early February 2014 when the rest of the country seemed to be buried in snow.

We visited the coast while there.  One thing I find interesting about the Atlantic coastline of Florida is that much of it has ‘dunes’ separating the beach from the roads and homes etc.  These dunes aren’t like what I’m used to in the desert where it’s just a hill of sand.  These dunes are covered in bushes and palmettos.  They’re also very fragile so there are signs everywhere to not walk on the dunes, and there are wooden walkways going over the dunes to the beach where there’s beach access.
