Sunrise on the beach is a peaceful time. The breeze rustles the sea oats, the birds soar and call, and the sand feels cool under your toes. Gulf Islands National Seashore in Florida and Mississippi offers 13 areas to relax and explore this lovely meeting of land and sea. Millions of visitors each year are drawn to the islands in the northern Gulf of Mexico for the white sandy beaches, the aquamarine waters, a boat ride, a camping spot, a tour of an old fort or a place to fish.
