I get lots of questions like this: “We are going to be in Orlando for a week to take the family to Disney World. We would also like to take a day and drive to the beach. What is the closest beach to the Orlando / Disney area that would be suitable for a family?”

So I decided to put up a page on my BeachHunter.net website to give you some ideas about what the most suitable nearby beaches are. I suggest the best and closest beaches, how to get to them, where to park, how long the drive is, and why I like them. I also have a fun idea for the more adventurous among you!

Memorial Day Weekend I found myself in Daytona Beach shooting a video with the Open Florida video crew. Amon Focus was behind the camcorder. Here we are riding the sky lift over the Main Street Pier. The Hilton Daytona is in the background. Amon takes his cameras fearlessly to all corners of Florida to get the perfect shot. And he puts together some serious video. He can even make me look like I know what I’m doing in front of a video camera.

Here I managed to cover up my fear of being 50 feet in the air in a rattletrap sky lift, dangling from a steel cable that’s exposed to pure salt air 24/7/365, even with a camcorder inches from my face recording every drop of sweat cascading from my brow.

Of course, Amon has his own website where he displays some of his most excellent creative work–lots of great videos–some serious, and some…well…not so serious. My personal favorite: Amon Focus, The Mr. Focus Golf Tutorial Check it out for a few laughs.
