Our RE/MAX All Star office is located in Madeira Beach and we are directly across from the warm waters and white sands. Lucky for us, we can go North or South and find some of the most beautiful beaches in this state. The beaches are one of the best reasons to move to the west coast (or Florida, if you are out of state). Being so close to the water has many perks and gives you an excuse to go to the beach almost everyday! Here are our top West Coast Florida beaches - giving you a sneak peak of the Gulf waters, sugary sands, and unbelievable sunsets. Enjoy!
