“Middle age” ladies trip to FL beach end of March
A group of 6-8 flying into either Orlando or Fort Lauderdale looking for a fun beach town within an hour of airport. Recommendations? I realize most areas will be busy this time of year, but we would prefer a cute beach town as opposed to concrete and high rises. Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond!

New Smyrna beach, there is a Hampton Inn on Flagler. Great places to eat, shop and nice beach.

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea might be a fit in some ways (no high rises). I'm not sure I'd call it "cute" however. Perhaps further north. Why are you insisting on Orlando or FLL as the fly-in spot? Would you consider somewhere along the lower Gulf coast instead?

I was thinking either Sanibel or Captiva but it may be too quiet for you. Have a great trip regardless
