Florida - St. Augustine to Melbourne
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Florida, the Atlantic coast of Florida has two coastlines. The Atlantic Ocean borders the east side of Florida. Just inside this coast is the Inland Coastal Waterway (ICW), which is a series of rivers and channels which run parallel to the ocean. This waterway is at times wide like a large lake and in other places narrow with meandering channels of mangrove swamps. Many picturesque cannals lined with palm trees and boat docks run off the main course. This Waterway affords boaters a convenient way to cruise when the ocean is too rough for sailing. From St. Augustine, it goes down to Daytona Beach and then through the small towns of Titusville and Cocoa at Cape Canaveral to Melbourne and on from there.
The Atlantic coast is lined with fine sand beaches and as one might expect, has attracted numerous condominiums and hotels serving the tourist industry.
The inland waterway on the other hand, presents a more realistic view of how native Floridians live. The many miles of waterways allows a large number of people an opportunity to own waterfront property with boating facilities. There are also a few trailer camps and the occasional condomium building.

Condominium Opportunities
St. Augustine is the most northerly city of interest in Florida, and therefore the closest place to get to for those driving south. It is a very historic place, in fact the oldest city in North America. This can be seen in the attractive old downtown area where there are many buildings of Spanish architecture.
Bordering St. Augustine is Amelia Island which contains the fine sand beaches of St. Augustine Beach, Butler Beach and Crescent Beach. 2 bedroom, 2 bath condos directly on the beach can be found here from under $200,000 and up.
