Hey fellow Floridians and beach enthusiasts - have you guys noticed how crazy crowded the beaches get during peak season? I've been trying to plan a solo trip to Caladesi Island State Park and I'm looking for some insider knowledge on when to go without the chaos. Does anyone know if there's a sweet spot in late spring or early fall where the weather is still nice but the tourists have thinned out?
