Which south Florida Gulf beach town to go to this April with my 2 teenagers?
We have always visited the east coast but I want to show my kids the beauty of the west coast with white sand and warmer water in April. Would like it to be close to an airport since we only have about 4 days to spend. Any suggestions?

The advantage of Sanibel for teenagers is that it is quiet enough that you can turn them loose on bikes with some money for lunch and not worry about them.
I agree with Dukey about Captiva, even for adults.
Siesta Key, Venice, Gasparilla Island, Naples, all have things to do.

Thank you for all the suggestions! Leaning towards Siesta Key. Does anyone have any suggestions for a place to stay around siesta beach? There are hotels and private rentals. Would hate to get there and be stuck in a bad place for 4 nights. Thanks for any suggestions!

I have stayed at Siesta Dunes 3 times and it's a great place. They are all 2 bedroom condos (there may be a few 3 bedroom). I'm not sure if you will be able to rent for less than a week. You may have to stay at a hotel if you are only going for 4 days. There is a Hyatt there that is supposed to be nice.
