What would you all say is the largest boating community on the east coast (including the west coast of Florida)???

When I say boating community I mean most marinas, most boats, most restaurants/bars/shopping centers you can dock at and hop off for some activites.

I would have to think it must be somewhere in Florida where it's boat season virtually 12 months a year.

Chesapeake bay? The shoreline of the bay and it's tidal tributaries is almost 12K miles!
I understand per capita though, Arizona has more boats.

Of course, doing an internet search they say it's Michigan, California, Florida, Minnesota, Texas, Pa, etc, etc, etc.

Fla has around 1 million registered vessels, I believe that's the most in the US. Any coastal town could be considered a boating community here, everyone I know has a boat of some kind, mostly fishing. I have friends in the Keys that own a boat but don't own a car.

I googled it but nothing really came up, if you mean a developed community dedicated to boaters, I can't think of any.
