This Florida Geological Survey (FGS) study was funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This study characterizes recently sampled sediments from the beaches of Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Gulf, Franklin, Wakulla, Taylor, Dixie, Citrus, Hernando, Levy, and Pasco Counties as well as the extreme northern beaches of Pinellas County. A total of 703 samples, 653 samples from 240 sites along the northwest coast of Florida and 50 samples from 39 sites in Florida’s Big Bend, were collected, described and photographed. Selected samples from each location were granulometrically analyzed. Photographs, descriptions and the results of granulometric analyses are provided.
