Sarasota Bay ice cream truck boat

I spent a week last year kn Ana Maria Island and another week on Marco Island. Both times every day there were at least two or three center consols loaded down with a few thousand dollars worth of Yeti coolers cruising the beach selling ice cream.

Gotta admit, just parking a truck on a deck boat is new though.

The commies would never allow that.

There was a guy in Destin in the mid nineties that would walk the water a few yards from the shoreline that would sell ice cream out of a zodiac boat.

I can't imagine how tired he would be at the end of a shift fighting the waves and sand and tatted up bikini clad moms. (especially with his advanced age)

Cool and it certainly gets your attention.

I don’t think that’s a real truck that deck boat couldn’t hold that much weight. It’s just a cabin built to look like a truck, probably fiberglass

100%

it doesn't look all that stable as it takes on those three inch waves.

If a cruiser with major displacement goes by, well, so far that hasn't happened catastrophically.

Florida in general is a joke now.. but Siesta Beach on Siesta Key is the nicest beach in America, including anything on Hawai’i .

We need one of these on Lake Lanier, but for beer.

I bet this was a rarity, actually.

I don't know why you are laughing

From Co-Pilot

Here is where it stands across the major global and national lists:
?The World's 50 Best Beaches: Siesta Beach is ranked No. 28 in the world. This represents a notable jump from its No. 42 spot the previous year. Remarkably, it stands alone as the only beach in the entire United States to crack the global top 50 list.
?TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Awards: While it routinely captures the No. 1 or No. 2 spot in the U.S. category, it peaked globally on TripAdvisor's algorithm at No. 11 in the world during a recent massive tourism surge, holding steady in the top tier ever since.
?U.S. News & World Report: Nationally, it takes the crown as the No. 1 Best Beach in the USA, praised as a premier destination for families and beach purists alike.
?Dr. Beach (Dr. Stephen Leatherman): Siesta Beach made history by becoming the first shoreline to ever be named the No. 1 Beach in America twice by the nation's leading coastal expert, owing to its strict environmental safety and water quality standards.
?What Puts It on the Global Map?
?The secret to its world-class status isn't just the view—it's the geology. Unlike most beaches that are made of pulverized coral, Siesta Beach's sand is 99% pure quartz crystal pulverized over millions of years after flowing down from the Appalachian Mountains.
?Because it is pure crystal, the sand feels like powdered sugar and never gets hot underfoot, even in the dead of a scorching summer afternoon. Combined with a incredibly shallow, gently sloping sandy bottom and calm Gulf waves, it hits almost every metric travel professionals look for when scoring a perfect beach day.
