Where is a good beach spot to go in Florida at the end of December?

Question

I guess it doesn't have to be Florida, but I'm thinking I can get an affordable flight for this busy travel time to there from Chicago...

Is a certain coast in Florida warmer? Near a major airport is ideal.

My girlfriend and I are both 29, so we're not really looking for something that is family-conducive. A little quitier is better I suppose.

Thank you!

Try the Florida Keys!! I am not talking about Key West! I am referring to the Keys that are a little north of KeyWest like Marathon, Boca Chica, Big Pine and Little Torch. You can find some GREAT private house rentals with in-ground pools that are right on the gulf that are a great deal!! You can have all the seclusion in the world or if you get in your car a take a short drive to Key West so you can get a lil crazy too!

See some examples below!
