If you took your teen frum boys to Florida which area did you stay with yashiva boys? Which area is quieter where we can all relax as a family , but avoid pritzes boys shouldn't be exposed too much.

DON'T take boys and/or bochrim to Florida, unless you are going to West Palm, the fairly new chassidism community. Otherwise, Florida is full of preetzes and is not for yeshiva boys. My daughter was there two weeks ago and was appalled to see chassidsh families with sons among beach-goers. Not normal...

I wouldn’t take older boys and bachurim to Florida, unless you'd rent a private villa in Orlando and the boys wouldn’t leave the property throughout the stay.
I know some yeshiva's didn't take back bachurim that went to Florida with their families during quarantine. Many people left their bachurim behind while they went with their family.

Private and you don’t see people.

It’s each individuals choice if they want to take their kids to the beach.

Reason?

Were you ever there?
The homes are on quiet streets you don’t meet a person all week.

No, not in a private home. I'd be wary of a beach city. But if the houses are in a quiet area not near the beach, like in Orlando, I'd be more comfortable with it. I'd want them to be able to walk to shul without seeing pritzus.

NMB is a loooong walk from the beach, barely walking distance actually. theres likely more pritzus in williamsburg (or any community) in the summer

North Miami Beach is 100% kosher for bochurim, especially in the Jewish neighborhood. Get a villa with a private pool so they can enjoy.
There is even a chassidish minyan.

What beach city? I don't think you've ever been there. The people on the street dress the same way as the people on the street in Orlando and Brooklyn in that weather.

Op, next to the beach people may be wearing bathing suits, depending on the weather. Otherwise it's all the same.

LOL. Queens and Far Rockaway and "beach cities."

You do realize there are frum families who *live* in NMB, don't you?

Florida is not wall-to-wall women jiggling around in bikinis, like a bad Spring Break movie.
