About Blog The Beach
I’m David McRee, aka BeachHunter. I am a professional beach bum. I travel around Florida visiting all the beaches, with a special focus on the southwest coast beaches from the Tampa Bay Area south to Marco Island.
I explore, discover, photograph, shoot video, and write about my beach and island experiences on this blog and on my main beach website BeachHunter.net.
I was born in Bradenton, Florida. I have never lived anywhere else but Florida. I have no plans to leave.
My main website is www.beachhunter.net
I served as the “beach expert” on the VISITFLORIDA.com website from May 2007 to July 2009. Florida paid me to go to the beach (no kidding).
Yes, it is a lot of fun! Here’s proof.

Hey thanks everyone, for stopping by and leaving a comment! Love your work Rhonda, so I did what I usually do when I like something beachy–I blog about it!

Thank you for your kind words Alice!
Went to Anna Maria yesterday … I love it out there!
I’m a Florida East-Coaster but am heading your way next weekend. I’ll be reading through your blogs for good tips.
Dear BeachHunter,
I love the wavewall on Ft. Lauderdale beach and am wondering who designed it and how the colored light tube along the wall works (it slowly changes from blue to green to magenta and back).
Thanks!
Chris
The designer was the late Edward Stone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Durell_Stone,_Jr.

The lights are fiber optics.
Just discovered your blog and plan on spending a lot of time enjoying it! I’m trying to move to Florida (most of family already there) and your blog is already giving me great insight and perspective.
Cheers!
