Really Florida!

Florida vacation spots come in many forms.  We have beaches, attractions, parks and all kinds of outdoor fun.  Which are you thinking of for you Florida vacation?  Let’s take a look at best vacation spots in Florida.

Florida Attractions

One thing for sure, Florida has lots of attractions!  Pretty much no matter where you are in the state, there’s something within an hour or so.  And if attractions are what make your heart beat faster, you’ll want to visit Central Florida.

Of course there is Walt Disney World, the best known of them all.  But don’t forget SeaWorld, Universal Studios and the old favorites like Gatorland and Busch Gardens.

And then there are the “lost” attractions; the ones that have been around for a long time but aren’t as well-known.  These include Silver Springs, Weeki Wachee, the Fountain of Youth and the granddaddy of them all, MarineLand.

Florida Beach Vacations

When it comes to Florida beach vacations, your biggest problem will be deciding on one!  Here are a few of the best beaches in Florida  to start with.

Daytona Beach is billed as the “World’s Most Famous Beach”, and it does have all the classic components — a wide sandy beach, plenty of hotels, shopping and (of course), “beach toys” and tours.  People of all ages converge on this sunny spot on the Florida Atlantic coast.

There’s also Clearwater Beach, on Florida’s Central Gulf coast.  Once again, a wide sandy beach beckons, with plenty of hotels and local attractions.  The big difference between Clearwater and Daytona is the ocean.  Daytona has waves, while Clearwater seas tend to be very calm — perfect for swimming!

Destin Beach, on the Florida Emerald Coast once again features a sandy beach, with more of a ”sugar sand” than the other two.  The waters tend to be fairly calm and the waters more green than blue (yes, there is a reason this area of Florida is called the Emerald Coast).  On the Florida Panhandle, it’s more easily reached by those driving in from other states.

Florida Vacation Spots

If you’re into the great outdoors, especially water activities, you’ll want to think about a Florida Keys vacation.  The glorious crystal-clear waters in the Keys invites swimming, snorketing and diving.  And you’ll find the only living coral reef in the continental United States here!

Boating and fishing are big as well.  Boats range from kayaks and canoes to cruise ships and fishing charters.  Fishing is great from boats, bridges, docks and breakwaters.

And here are some more great Florida vacations for you to enjoy!
