Glider location near the beach?

I paid then a visit last Feb. and had a hour beetling around. Landout
possibilities seemed limited unless you wanted a close acquaintance with a
'gator or two.

As you say very friendly people and close to the Keys

I can't speak for the X/C potentials of the FL sites, but Seminole is
not too far from the Pacific or Atlantic Oceans (but not a 'beach'
site) and being right next to Orlando can make the sell easier than
some other sites.

Miami Gliders: http://unusualattitudes.biz/ , not on the beach either
but closer to the water.

When I flew with Unusual Attitudes, the prospects for XC flights sounded
grim. Everything in the area is either city or swamp, and the natives used
to make arrowheads out of the stones underlying the swamp, so not a
friendly place to land out. Airport hopping is made very tough by the fact
that cloudbases are typically 3000ft (albeit with ground level right at
0). The flying seemed good from a stay-aloft point of view, and the
operation was really friendly (although quite small) but XC flying from
there appears to be a non-starter.
