Beach Memories with Kids

Happiness comes in waves 🌊 Man I miss the beach! Growing up near the mountains I didn't spend a lot of time in the water. Our 7 week tour in Florida sparked a deep joy for the beach. . . We were all amazed by how different the gulf side and ocean side were. The gulf side seemed to be calmer and warmer while the ocean side had large waves. Both were fun but as a parent that wasn't raised near the water, I was very nervous when the kids played in the big waves. . . Which side of Florida do you prefer?
