Florida/Texas?

Planning on 2-3 weeks end of Feb first part of March. Coming from Illinois so want warm weather, not iffy like we see in Pensacola the end of March normally. Looking for a beach area. We have stayed (not camped) in Cedar Key, Fl several times and that type of a area, small quite but yet has restaurants, Groceries, etc, is what we are looking for. Also open for either Texas or Florida.
Any ideas?
Thanks

    second on the Rockport area! Actually we are here now. We are originally from southern IL. Wonderful weather at that time of year and Port Aransas beach is a free ferry ride away. The rockport beach (on Little Bay) is not affected by the spring breakers. If you need more info. or have questions feel free to PM us.

    I would recommend the Rockport, Texas area just north of Corpus Christi. It's waterfront on the bay rather than the Gulf of Mexico and is not a Spring Break destination. Much less expensive than Florida, too.

    Spring Break, not the best time to go to the beach unless you want to join the Party.

    Both Florida and Texas beaches may be over run with college kids at that time.
