The Gulf Coast draws families with warm tropical weather, sun-drenched beaches, turquoise blue waters and recreational activities from boating to biking to snorkeling and scuba diving. Several resorts along the Coast, primarily in Florida, maximize value and minimize hassle by offering families all-inclusive vacation packages, although the definition of all-inclusive differs slightly from resort to resort.
