Georgia’s winters may lack the misery blizzards bring, but they still can be soggy and cold. When you tire of slogging through the season, it’s hard not to think about escaping to a Florida beach to catch a little mid-winter sun. Before you do, make sure you check out the iPhone app Florida’s Best Beaches ($1.99), by travel writer Sandra Friend. The application features a comprehensive list of Florida’s beaches displayed alphabetically or pictorially along a map of Florida. Each entry contains images, beach access fees and a map function that tells you how far away you are from the sunny Shangri-La. If you’re looking for something in particular — for instance, a dog-friendly, off-beat or cosmopolitan beach — you can narrow your options from the main Florida map view or by clicking keywords in each listing’s description.
