About Blog The Beach

David McRee on Cocoa 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.

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

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!
