Top 5 beaches for singles

What makes a singles beach: Where young people and other singles can mingle, have fun and enjoy an evening out after the beach.

1. Ultrachic spot to see and be seen. Numerous reasonably priced art-deco hotels and cafes. Part of Miami Beach.

2. Crowded with young people. Surrounded by modestly priced restaurants. New construction will include a landscaped area with picnic tables. North of Tampa.

3. All ages flock to this place. Plenty of low-priced restaurants, beach shops and cruising cars. On the southwest coast.

4. Lots of activities going on. Surfing contests, night clubs. In Brevard County.

5. Pensacola/Panama City Beaches: Different in appearance, but alike in the way they cater to young people. Pensacola has the nicer restaurants; Panama City leads in putt-putt golf and T-shirt shops. In the Panhandle.
