This is one of the clustervines, a Jacquemontia species.  It is either J. curtisii (Pineland clustervine) or J. reclinata (Beach clustervine), one needs the sepals to tell them apart.  However, if this photo was taken in a pineland it is J. curtisii, if it was on the beach or coastal strand it is J. reclinata, as both also occupy distinct habitats.  Both of these trailing vines are endemic (exclusive) to Florida, with Beach clustervine being listed as Endangered by the USFWS.  They belong to the morning glory family (Convolvulaceae).
