Daytona Beach, FL

Florida has many well-known beaches such as Miami Beach, Clearwater Beach, And Siesta Key. However, none of these beaches actually have the nickname "America's most famous beach." But the beach that does, Daytona Beach, was just named one of America's top 10 boomtowns in a recent study.

Florida's "Most Famous Beach" Town Was Recently Named One Of America's Top Boomtowns Of 2024

Saint Petersburg, FL

Beach towns are a dime a dozen across Florida. You can sink your toes into the soft sands of Daytona Beach, join the shoreline parties of Miami, or marvel at the million-dollar mansions lining Destin's coastline, just to name a few options. Southwest of Tampa, across Old Tampa Bay, sits St. Petersburg, a particularly popular beach town that combines a rich and vibrant culture with the expected flare of a tourism hotspot. For as nice as St. Pete can be, it can also get crowded, and finding parking to enjoy the pier or any stretch of golden sands can be problematic.

Any cruise that requires you to fly in (or heck, even drive several hours) to your home port warrants an overnight stay. Trust me on this one: Flight delays and other unexpected hiccups—especially when traveling with kids—happen no matter how Type A you are of a planner. Besides, when you cruise from Florida, do you really need an excuse to extend your time in the sunshine?

They were almost in deep ship!

A superyacht capsized in the Chesapeake Bay near Washington, DC, forcing passengers to plunge into the water as it sank — and prompting a dramatic rescue, authorities said.

The splashy, 122-foot vessel, known as the Lovebug, began taking on water around 12:30 p.m. Saturday near Edgewater, Maryland, police and witnesses told CBS Baltimore.



Striking footage shows the $8 million superyacht — which docks at the Annapolis Yacht Club and costs $125,000 to charter per week — sinking on its side in a heavily traveled area near the mouth of the West River.

When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.
