When asking how far is Winter Garden FL from the beach it is important to know which of the beaches are you travelling to. I know that the distance (straight line) is 61 miles to Cocoa Beach on the eastern coast and the distance is just 64 miles to the gulf coast. The travel time will vary depending on your route and both have public beaches.
Alternatively there is now a great beach (public/ family) in Clermont FL which is to the west of Downtown Winter Garden FL. This sand beach was made by the city and is just north of the downtown area of Clermont. It is also adjacent to the Lake Apopka Trail so bring plenty of sunscreen and plan on having fun on this day trip.
The distance to this lakes' beach is 12.9 miles and around 30 minutes from Downtown Winter Garden FL by car and we believe this is the closest beach to navigate your way to. There is also plenty of parking space for cars or your vehicle and a nearby launch for boats.
Daytona Beach has to be considered amongst the beaches that people in small towns all around Florida will visit. Some will prefer private beaches but many will prefer the excitement and crowds you can experience at this beach. The distance to visit here in your car is about 70 miles and it will take you about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to the city or sand beside the ocean. I think there may be a few other attractions at Daytona Beach other than beaches.
If you have seen this city on the map you then you know to expect the distances to beaches to be music to your ears. When you arrive here and get out to explore the area you will probably never want to leave. Often overlooked are Blizzard Beach and Volcano Bay two commercial beaches within 30 minutes of this city. There are lifeguards and hotels at these locations as well as a great night life.
As you can see there are many reasons to choose this city. The longer you live here the more reasons you will find to never leave. That is one of the reasons people pay as much as they do to live and stay in Central FL. We didn't even cover the weather or the fact we have no state income tax.
