I live south of Boca on a canal - the inlet to the ocean is less than half a mile away which is a huge factor....I have freinds on canals that have to ride nearly an hour at no wake to get to the ocean.
it really dpends on what kind of boating you want to do - east coast has the bahamas and lots of action...west coast is a bit more laid back

I would say best area, south FL, from WPB/Boca and south, so many good restaurants, parts of the intracoastal you don't have to follow no wake and can speed up or go wakeboarding etc, close to island chain (bahamas etc), down the Keys. Almost every sunday everyone chills in Lake Boca which is a huge open setion of the intracoastal here, just party and drink.

well, with the real estate prices so low I think I'm going to purchase a place in FL. If you were to move to an area for boating where would it be and why? I'm a great lakes boater and the idea of the calm, warmer waters is really enticing. It seems there are just so many things to do on the water in FL. I can't wait to start checking out restraunts, islands, and planning some trips.
I've been doing my looking online so far from Tampa to naples and then the Ft Lauderdale area. I did make a trip down and covered apollo beach and the sanibel/fortmyers/ cape coral area. It's just so hard not currently living in the area and not being able to get on the water. My budget will afford a canal home in the areas I mentioned.
Any advise about the area's and it's boating would be very much appreciated..

Best Boating in FL
Ft Lauderdale, the Yachting Capital of the world, has the most and best hot spots but speed limits and lack of open space in the ICW to run. Miami and the Keys are fairly close and better boating. It's all good!
