What is a good beach to go to during Christmas break?|145385

I have a teenage son who will be on crutches so we_re just looking for rest and relaxation. It_s important to me that it_s hot (not scorching) and sunny so I can lay out. I_ll be flying to wherever we go.

South Padre Island. The water is warm, the people are friendly. When I was there at Christmas, it was in the 80_s and sunny.

Crescent beach, on Siesta Key, near Sarasota, FL. Wonderful.
