West Coast FL with great clay-court tennis

[Laurence Shames]

Looking for a west coast FL town, as far south as possible but preferably not Naples, with a good clay-court tennis scene, a walkable beach, and some decent food. Bike-friendly, so my wife and I can manage with one car. Prefer low-rise to high, older to new, and funky to plastic. Hoping for a 3-month seasonal rental. Advice appreciated! Thanks.
