Skip the crowded tourist hotspots and discover Florida’s most underrated beaches, from quiet Gulf Coast escapes to historic Atlantic shorelines locals love.
I’ve called Florida home for more than 25 years now and have lived in towns across the state, from Cocoa Beach and Jacksonville Beach on the East Coast to the Sunshine State’s center, Orlando, and Tampa on the Gulf side (the city I currently call home).
As a Floridian, I’m never short on texts or emails—particularly in the colder months of the year—from out-of-state and international friends looking for advice on the best beaches for a Florida vacation. It always amazes me that, despite the state having some 1,350 miles of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, visitors tend to recognize only the big-name (and often the most crowded and pricey) beaches on our sunny shores. There are simply so many other sublime stretches of sand to see here when you go beyond the usual party.

Lake Worth Beach
Less glitzy than the beaches on the island of Palm Beach, just north, Lake Worth Beach offers just as clear, blue Atlantic waters and lovely golden sands with a far more local crowd. The main landmark here is the Lake Worth Pier, which extends 1,000 feet out into the ocean and attracts anglers in equal parts as it does brunchers and piña colada sippers, drawn to the great little beach bar, Benny’s on the Beach, where the pier meets the sand.
For an indulgent stay nearby with its own private beach access in Manalapan, just south, Eau Resort & Spa has two oceanfront pools (including one that’s adults-only), a world-class spa, and Nobu onsite, too, for the freshest sashimi and miso-marinated black cod overlooking the breakers.

Manasota Key
An hour south of Sarasota on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Manasota Key delivers throw-back, Old Florida vibes. The miles of unspoiled beaches here are a favorite among beachcombers in search of intact seashells. Stump Pass Beach State Park, on the southern end of the peninsula, is a reliable place to gather shark’s teeth, too (look for shiny black shards glinting near the wet sand line).
On Manasota Key in Englewood, Manasota Beach Club is a lovely, historic property on the National Register of Historic Places that sprawls across 11 acres and has been owned by the same family since 1960. Come for an unplugged and old-school beach club atmosphere–books line the shelves of the property’s library, and there’s a dedicated room for kids to enjoy with VCR movies. You can stay in the resort’s collection of 1920s and mid-century cottages with step-out access to white sand beaches.

Pass-a-Grille Beach
Named for the 19th-century fishermen who once camped on these white sands at the southernmost tip of St. Pete Beach to grill their fresh catch, Pass-a-Grille Beach is a locals’ favorite in the Tampa Bay area. I get there at least once a month with my own family. There’s plenty of metered street parking running parallel to the beach here if you arrive early enough in the day–and you’ll likely want to stick around until the sun sets over the Gulf of Mexico to join the revelers at Paradise Grille, with fruity frozen drinks, grouper platters, and picnic tables that spill onto the sand. Stay just north at one of Florida’s famous grand dame pink hotels, The Don CeSar, which reopened in 2025 following extensive refurbishments and upgrades, and is better than ever.

Neptune Beach
One of the Jacksonville Beaches, Neptune Beach, is a favorite among surfers along the Atlantic Coast of North Florida, located about 17 miles east of downtown Jacksonville. Largely residential and overall less touristy than Jacksonville Beach, just south, Neptune’s vibe skews family-friendly. Residents ride beach cruiser bikes from their homes in the area to reach the shopping and dining in the Beaches Town Center, right across from the beach, and stroll and run along the hard-packed sand. The classic beach bar in these parts is Lemon Bar, tucked just behind the dunes, with live music on the weekends. Pete’s Bar is another classic, around since 1933, and a favorite with the late-night crowd. For a low-key stay that won’t break the bank, consider the beachfront, mid-century motel, Seahorse Inn. Oceanfront luxury awaits just north of there at Dune House, a recently rebranded hotel with 193 rooms.

Jensen Beach
Two barrier islands off the east coast of Florida between Vero Beach and Stuart make up Hutchinson Island. And it’s in the southern reaches here that you’ll find the quiet and beautiful golden sands of Jensen Beach. Lined with mostly low-rise buildings, save for a few condos and the very comfortable, oceanfront Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa, the beach is idyllic for long strolls and surfing. When you want a little more action, Stuart’s cute downtown, busy with shops and restaurants, is just a few miles away.

Sand Key Beach
This barrier island just south of busier Clearwater Beach has some of the loveliest white sands in the Tampa Bay area, accessible via a short boardwalk trail, with plenty of day parking for visitors at automated kiosks. It’s a family favorite thanks to the on-site playground and gentle, clear Gulf of Mexico waters that often feel more lake-like than sea-like. Pack a picnic or barbecue supplies to make use of the onsite grills and picnic tables, or head down the road for a waterfront lunch or dinner overlooking the bay at the favorite Florida Spanish restaurant, Columbia. The JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa, nearby, has a rooftop pool and its own private stretch of sand where the Intracoastal flows into the gulf.

Melbourne Beach
Part of Florida’s Space Coast–along the stretch of the state east of Orlando and south of Cape Canaveral, where many a rocket lifts off for outer space–Melbourne Beach sports some otherworldliness of its own. These golden sands are where sea turtles nest in large numbers each year from March through October. You can book guided night tours on the beach for June and July to see the nesting action with Stella Maris Environmental Research. It was near this largely residential stretch of the Sunshine State that Juan Ponce de León made landfall in 1513, and the beach park with his name is a good place to set up for a beach day, with onsite restroom facilities and showers. If you don’t mind staying off the beach, Hotel Melby is a pretty contemporary property with a great rooftop restaurant and bar in the heart of downtown Melbourne, close to restaurants and shops.

Clam Pass Park
It takes a little more work than merely pulling up and parking to reach the powder sand Gulf Coast beaches at this county park north of downtown Naples. But your efforts are rewarded when you’re stretched out in the sun on one of the nicest bits of sand in all of Southwest Florida. Clam Pass Park is accessed from the beach parking lot via a free golf cart shuttle (or 15-minute walk) along a ¾-mile boardwalk shaded by mangroves and winding through natural coastal habitats. Once you reach it, the sandy beach is buffered on its northern end by a shallow tidal pass popular with anglers, and there’s even a Greek restaurant, Rhode’s End, overlooking the sand and serving Mediterranean fare like grilled chicken pita sandwiches and gyro fries. Nearby, The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, recently reopened after extensive renovations and fronts another beautiful beach.

American Beach
South of the main tourist beaches on Amelia Island, this dune-backed swatch of sand listed on the National Register of Historic Places was Florida’s first African American beach and served as a haven during segregation, from 1935 to 1964. Today, the beach is also known for the 60-foot-high sand dune at its heart that’s thought to be the largest in Florida. Many of the roads in American Beach remain unpaved and sandy, and the beach itself is wide, golden, and lapped by Atlantic Ocean waves (beach driving is still permitted in certain sections). Historic houses dot the dunes, but there are no hotels. Consider visiting on a day trip from popular beachfront hotels, a short drive to the north, including the Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa or The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island.

St. George Island
Along a well-off-the-beaten-path stretch of Florida, St. George Island’s high-rise free beaches are the stuff of sand-spun dreams on the Panhandle’s 200-mile-long and aptly named Forgotten Coast. There are beautiful Gulf-front vacation homes to rent for a classic Florida beach vacation, or you can opt to stay a two-minute stroll from the powder white sand and bars and restaurants at the St. George Inn, a favorite for its old Florida aesthetics. Undeveloped barrier island beaches lapped by emerald green water, sand that squeaks when you walk on it, and a gorgeous state park known for sunsets await.

Lido Key
A short walk or bike ride from all the shops and outdoor cafes lining St. Armand’s Circle and just north of more touristy Siesta Key, the barrier island of Lido Key lures with shell-strewn beaches that are a favorite among Sarasota locals for a sunrise or sunset stroll. Since Lido is mostly residential, crowds tend toward the tame side of the spectrum. If you’re looking for a nice place to stay that’s a quick stroll from restaurants, including Spanish favorite, Columbia, and right across from the wide, white sand beach, check in at circus-themed Cirque St. Armands Beachside. The contemporary rooms have balconies overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, there’s a pretty pool, and the big top themed restaurant, Ringside, delights with vintage circus motifs and excellent Gulf seafood and steaks.
Geopolitics and the geometry of global trade: 2026 update

Tariff splashes, AI waves, and the ripples reshaping global trade.
Chapter 5.
Emerging economies: Finding opportunity across the geopolitical spectrum
Domestic development priorities primarily drove trade decisions in major emerging economies in 2025. In pursuing them, economies including ASEAN, India, and Brazil found opportunities to trade across the geopolitical spectrum, with offsetting shifts keeping average geopolitical distances relatively stable even as geographic distances increased.
How this played out varied, reflecting differences in economic strengths. ASEAN continued to grow as a manufacturing hub, in particular by importing more inputs from China and exporting more finished goods to the United States. For India, trade supported brisk domestic growth, but overall exports were little changed. The one exception was smartphones, where India met about half of the US demand that was previously sourced from China. Brazil stood out as one of the few economies to expand exports to China at scale, primarily by replacing commodities that China had once imported from the United States.
ASEAN trade is booming
ASEAN economies expanded trade with every region in the world in 2025, with total manufactured exports jumping nearly 14 percent and imports rising by 11 percent (Exhibit 21). The largest shifts involved the United States and China. Exports to the United States climbed by about $80 billion, roughly one-third of total export growth, while purchases from China surged by more than $100 billion, accounting for about half of total import growth.
Exhibit 21
A multi-panel line chart shows ASEAN exports and imports over time (annualized for 2017–25 and monthly for 2024–25) plus partner share trends. In 2024–25, exports grew at a 13.6 percent CAGR and imports at about 11.1 percent, and the trade surplus rose roughly 86 percent; import share from China increased about +2.5 pp, while export share to the US rose about +1.6 pp. Takeaway: ASEAN’s trade surge in 2025 reflected stronger global demand and deeper links to both the United States and China.
Manufacturing footprint—and trade shifts—vary by country
Electronics remained central to ASEAN economies’ trade in 2025, accounting for around 45 percent of the region’s exports and 70 percent of annual export growth. Gains varied by country, reflecting differences in supply chain roles (Exhibit 22).
Exhibit 22
A stacked bar chart (by country) shows 2024 vs annualized 2025 changes in exports and imports, with segments for major partner regions and bubbles for total 2025 trade values. Vietnam and Singapore are among the largest traders (for example, Vietnam exports about $457 billion and imports about $432 billion; Singapore exports about $549 billion), and many economies show export gains linked to the United States alongside import growth linked to China. Takeaway: ASEAN’s 2025 expansion, combined with rising US-bound exports and China-linked inputs, but the mix differs sharply by country.
Vietnam and Cambodia saw the fastest export growth. Vietnam expanded the final assembly of consumer electronics, including laptops, smartphones, and game consoles, while importing more components from China and other parts of Asia. Finished goods were primarily exported to advanced economies, in some cases replacing Chinese exports to the United States. Cambodia played a similar role, but in textiles rather than electronics. The expansion of trade with both the United States and China has prompted scrutiny of rules-of-origin compliance and local value-added requirements, but potential policy responses remain unsettled at the time of writing (see sidebar “Tariffs in flux”).
Elsewhere in the region, export gains reflected different manufacturing footprints. In Singapore and Malaysia, growth was concentrated in supply chains tied to the AI boom, including chips, networking hardware, circuit boards, servers, and routers, alongside broader advanced manufacturing, notably pharmaceuticals in Singapore. Both strengthened their roles as regional hubs, with growth driven more by intraregional supply chain flows than by direct exposure to US demand. In Malaysia’s case, this reflected its role in assembling, packaging, and testing semiconductors produced elsewhere in Asia.
Thailand occupied a middle ground, combining final assembly work and higher-end supply chains, reflected in its mix of consumer electronics, AI-related goods, and some industrial electrical equipment.
But not all ASEAN economies were anchored in electronics supply chains. Indonesia’s exports, for example, were driven by commodities. Growth in 2025 came from minerals and chemical products, including steel, fertilizers, and other chemicals sold to a range of partners in Asia, Europe, and the United States. Export growth to China was almost flat, as falling energy shipments offset gains elsewhere. Meanwhile, Indonesia increased imports of Chinese EVs and consumer electronics, but accounted for comparatively fewer manufacturing inputs than other ASEAN economies.
Trade ties grow widely
More than half of ASEAN economies’ trade growth was linked to economies other than the United States and China. The region’s growing role in electronics manufacturing and assembly supported exports to other markets, including Europe and Mexico, while trade of commodities boosted relationships with Canada and the United Arab Emirates.
ASEAN countries also traded more among themselves and deepened ties to the rest of Asia (Exhibit 23). Intra-ASEAN trade grew by 8 percent, including large increases between Malaysia and Vietnam. Trade with Taiwan grew by nearly 40 percent, largely in AI-related goods, while imports from South Korea increased as demand rose for memory and other components used in later stages of electronics assembly.
Exhibit 23
A bubble-and-lollipop chart shows the percent change in ASEAN goods trade with the top 30 partners from 2024 to annualized 2025, with circle size indicating 2024 trade value (scale shown at $100B). Growth is visible with the US and Europe as well as within Asia—such as Taiwan (mostly AI-related goods)—and with China (mainland and Hong Kong). Takeaway: ASEAN expanded trade broadly across geopolitical groupings in 2025 rather than shifting exclusively toward one bloc.
India’s import power growth, but manufacturing breadth remains limited
India’s booming economy drove strong demand for inputs to support infrastructure and industrial buildout, even as lower energy prices tempered growth in the import bill in 2025.
India made progress toward its goal of becoming a global manufacturing hub, though results were uneven (Exhibit 24). Smartphone assembly surged as US buyers shifted away from China, while pharmaceuticals and machinery posted solid gains abroad. At the same time, falling commodity prices and rising trade barriers weighed on overall performance, with a sharp decline in refining exports offsetting gains elsewhere and leaving export growth flat.
Exhibit 24
A multi-panel line chart shows India’s exports and imports over time (annualized for 2017–25 and monthly for 2025–25), the resulting trade deficit, and partner share trends. India’s trade deficit increased about 13 percent in 2024–25; import share from China rose about +1.2 pp, while export growth slowed (2024–25 exports roughly flat, after a 5.8 percent CAGR in 2017–24). Takeaway: India’s 2025 trade picture reflected rising import dependence (including from China) and export gains that were concentrated and less durable across the year.
India imported the basic building blocks of economic growth in large quantities, including chemicals from the Middle East and metals from across the globe. Its purchases of these inputs increased by 15 percent. To support manufacturing, it also imported substantial amounts of machinery from China, ranging from weaving machines for textiles to transformers. Energy was the only major input that did not grow, not because volumes declined, but because prices retreated, reducing the Middle East’s and Russia’s share of India’s trade.
Industrial policies like “Make in India” aimed to promote domestic manufacturing capabilities and export growth. And in 2025, many more of the world’s smartphones were manufactured in India. These devices, which were exempt from US tariffs, were the largest single contributor to export growth. The United States increased its smartphone imports from India by about $15 billion while reducing smartphone imports from China by around $18 billion. This shift lifted India’s electronics exports by roughly 40 percent. Imports of components from China, including batteries, screens, and semiconductors, rose. Ireland also supplied important parts, including chips, becoming India’s fastest-growing trading partner in 2025 (Exhibit 25).
Exhibit 25
A bubble-and-lollipop chart shows the percent change in India’s goods trade with the top 30 partners from 2024 to 2025, with circle size indicating 2024 trade value (scale shown at $25 billion). Some relationships surge—such as Ireland (linked to electronics inputs) and the US—while many European partners fall below average, and China remains a major counterpart. Takeaway: India’s 2025 trade shifts were uneven across partners, highlighting progress in select supply chain links rather than broad-based manufacturing export expansion.
Additional gains came from other advanced manufacturing categories—including pharmaceuticals and machinery—which saw exports increase by almost 10 percent, while electronics other than smartphones grew more slowly than ASEAN exports. Together, these categories added about $7 billion to export growth.
Export gains, however, were not broad-based. Most notably, exports from India’s global refining hub declined. Fuel exports to Europe and Asia fell, reflecting commodity price declines and some trade restrictions on Russian oil as an input. Exports of chemicals also faced intensified competition from Chinese refiners amid softer global demand. In addition, US tariff hikes in July led to sharp declines in shipments of ceramics, building materials, and industrial diamonds, all historically important exports for India. Taken together, these developments left total export growth flat in 2025.
Although US tariffs changed again in 2026, the larger challenge remains structural. As manufacturing gains momentum, benefiting from the selective relocation of supply chains out of China, the open question remains whether India can broaden its export base beyond smartphones and pharmaceuticals to meet its manufacturing goals.
Brazil’s exports were led by resources, with some manufacturing gains
Brazil’s commodity exports boomed in 2025, supported by increased demand from China as it moved purchases of agricultural goods and crude oil away from the United States. This boom, in turn, required additional inputs, from pesticides to oil rigs, primarily sourced from China (Exhibit 26).
Exhibit 26
A multi-panel line chart tracks Brazil’s exports and imports over time (annualized for 2017–25 and monthly for 2024–25) and shows partner share changes and growth rates. Imports and exports both grew in 2024–25 (imports about 6.7 percent CAGR; exports about 3.5 percent), but the trade surplus declined about 8 percent; trade shares rose for China on both imports (+1.1 pp) and exports (+0.7 pp). Takeaway: Brazil’s trade expanded in 2025, with the strongest pull from China even as its surplus narrowed.
Brazil has long sought to move up the value chain and saw some progress in 2025. Most notably, it boosted exports of manufactured goods within Latin America, particularly cars to Argentina. However, headwinds in US demand limited manufacturing growth, especially in lightly processed goods, while increased imports of lower-priced final goods from China put pressure on some domestic producers.
Agricultural exports to China rose by about 13 percent, or about $5 billion, with more than half of the increase coming from soybeans. In 2025, Brazil provided three-quarters of China’s soybean imports, a product that had been central to US–China trade. Brazil also increased exports of iron ore and crude oil, the latter again replacing US supply. Lower prices for iron ore and crude oil meant volume gains outpaced increases in export value.
Exports of agricultural goods and minerals to the European Union rose by about 20 percent each compared with 2024, as negotiations over the EU–Mercosur trade agreement moved toward finalization.
To support this resource boom, imports of machinery and inputs from China increased by roughly $6 billion, or 11 percent, including floating oil production units, agricultural machinery, and agrochemicals. Europe also supplied important machinery and chemical inputs, but growth was only about half that recorded in China.
At the same time, competition from Asia put additional pressure on domestic producers, especially automakers, where vehicle imports grew by almost 50 percent in unit terms. This competition affected exports as well: Brazilian textile exports to China and ASEAN economies fell by about a third, reflecting heightened competition from Chinese producers redirecting output (Exhibit 27).
Exhibit 27
A bubble-and-lollipop chart plots the percent change in Brazil’s goods trade with the top 30 partners from 2024 to annualized 2025, with circle size indicating 2024 trade value (scale shown at $25 billion). Brazil shows gains with many partners across regions, but China remains the largest trading relationship by far, with additional growth across Latin America and selected advanced economies. Takeaway: Brazil diversified some trade growth in 2025, yet China continued to anchor its trade network.
While Brazil’s manufactured exports rose overall, growth was uneven across products and regions. Anticipation of US tariffs, even those that ultimately were not implemented, led to declines in a wide range of goods, particularly lightly processed goods such as furniture, wood products, and pig iron. Upcoming stricter EU sustainability requirements also contributed to the decline in exports of wood and paper products.
Nonetheless, more advanced manufacturing categories posted stronger growth, offsetting weakness elsewhere. Exports grew, particularly within Latin America and, to a lesser extent, Europe. Nearly one-third of all export growth came from autos, primarily to Argentina, following revisions to the ACE-14 automotive agreement that lowered trade barriers. Argentina, Peru, and Chile also increased purchases of Brazilian machinery, especially for the construction and resource sectors. This suggests scope for greater manufactured-goods trade within Latin America, where overall regional trade remains limited.
In 2025, trade reconfigured rapidly and often in unexpected ways, as both short-term tariff shocks and deeper forces reshaped the system. The result was an uneven year, marked by solid trade growth and geopolitical realignment, sharp intra-year swings in US imports, record Chinese exports despite weakness in some major categories, Europe caught in a double squeeze, and new openings for parts of ASEAN and other emerging economies.
Multinationals recognize that trade is evolving rapidly and in hard-to-predict ways. What is often less clear, however, is how to navigate that uncertainty. Our research over the past several years underscores the need for a practical posture: orienting trade strategy toward the structural waves most likely to endure, and building the capability to rebalance quickly as conditions shift.
Scenario analysis helps leaders treat trade exposure as a portfolio of safe bets, cautious bets, and uncertain bets—and to reallocate capital, capacity, and commercial focus accordingly. In 2025, for example, trade corridors supported by underlying waves proved more resilient, including parts of intra-ASEAN trade and select Asia corridors such as India–Japan, while uncertain-bet corridors shrank on average, reflecting greater exposure to geopolitical rupture.
The signals do not stop at trade. Our research on FDI announcements points to new capacity coming online in AI infrastructure and advanced manufacturing, and to new production hubs taking shape—particularly across the US–Asia technology stack and in selected emerging-market manufacturing locations.
Firms need to respond not only to long-term structural shifts but also to manage short-term shocks and their effects. Tariff announcements—and the responses they triggered, from frontloading to redirection—illustrate the kind of rapid adjustments this demands. Doing so requires keeping a close pulse on trade developments and accelerating decision cycles—on everything from supply chain reorganization to broader strategic questions such as where to invest or which markets to serve.
The leaders who outperform will not choose between the long term and the short term. They will do both: positioning for enduring structural change while retaining the agility to respond to near-term disruptions—and continually rebalancing their corridor bets as the evidence evolves.
