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 as a contract writer for Miles Media.  Florida paid me to go to the beach (no kidding).

Yes, it is a lot of fun! Here’s video proof:

I wrote a helpful article about Florida beaches for Cheapflights.com.

I am the subject of an article by editor Pam Daniel in the December 2007 issue of Sarasota Magazine that focused on Sarasota’s beaches.

I am quoted in Venice Magazine in an article titled Venice’s Greatest Asset by Jenni Stahlmann.

I am quoted in a July 22, 2005 Forbes Magazine article titled “Death Beaches” by Alicia Hartounian.

I have a really cool YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/floridabeachhunter
