January Weather is in the mid-70s!
Wintertime in Florida brings us the usual sunny days and delightful temps in the 70s and 80s. And a beautiful new look at the beach with the Beach Master Plan now being complete. One of the new features is this rope fencing along the beach trails. It's suppose to help keep the sea grapes and sea grass protected.
