  tybee is in your range.  But if you are willing to go a bit further then you should check out destin.  It's kid friendly and we love it there.

  Ditto Destin.  I much prefer the Gulf beaches to the Atlantic...the water is clearer and calmer.  I particularly like the Crystal Beach area of Destin.

  We love Hilton Head and it takes us about 5 hours to get there from midtown with one potty break. I've been going there since I was in elementary school. It's so laid back and quiet. Good restaurants, nice beach. There's all types of hotels, condos, houses even Disney has a place on the island to stay.

  I love Hilton Head, St. Simons and Isle of Palms. Also Amelia Island. I'm a travel agent too so let me know if you want any info on specific properties. We recently stayed at Amelia Island Plantation and it was awesome!! And Disneys Hilton Head property is next on my list.

  Another vote for Hilton Head - Sea Pines Plantation specifically. I have decided this will be our annual go to family summer spot. We love it!!

  Hilton Head and Destin are nice but absolutely love St Simons. It's a much smaller place than the other two.  It is easy to get around and has an old beach town feel because it's not as commercial or big as the other two. 
  Have a great time!

  I definitely recommend the Beaches of South Walton in Florida.  They are gorgeous, about a 5 hour drive, and there are lots of condos/homes available to rent if you prefer that to staying in a hotel.  I have been several times and just absolutely adore it.  I rented a wonderful unit called Sea Bluff Unit #3 on sandcastleescapes.com in Santa Rosa Beach, it's a little 2 bedroom gulf front condo literally 20 steps from powdery white sand and the ocean.  30A suites also has great accomodations.  Enjoy your vacay!

  I have to echo this...and not just because I'm from the Florida Panhandle. :-) The beaches on the Gulf side really are amazing! If you'd like a smaller, quieter, family beach...definitely check out Seaside! It's amazing!!!
