Famous for the calm emerald green seas and white sand, the beaches of Fort Walton Beach are a great place to escape. Many of the resorts offer old style beach chair service.

We recently visited Sarasota as part of our latest additions for PlacesAroundFlorida.com. While visiting Longboat Key we photographed this standoff between two seagulls and a medium sized land crab.

We didn’t interfere and watched as the seagulls eventually figured the crab was more trouble than it was worth.

Since the crab was exposed and away from his hole, we took the opportunity as he posed for a shot before he covered himself, then remained motionless until we left.
