From world famous theme parks like Walt Disney World and Universal Studios to beautiful beaches along both coasts, Florida has an abundance of exciting destinations.
On the Atlantic coast, cosmopolitan cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach offer glamorous nightlife, fine dining, and shopping. The Gulf coast cities of Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Naples provide a more laid back vibe with lovely white sand beaches.
In Central Florida, Orlando is the undisputed theme park capital of the world. Venture east to the Space Coast cities of Melbourne and Cocoa Beach where you can spot rocket launches and catch some waves.
The college town of Gainesville has a youthful energy and arts scene that is worth checking out. The Tampa Bay area provides both urban adventures and Gulf coast relaxation with cities like Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater.
Whether you’re looking for an action-packed theme park vacation, partying on South Beach, or just soaking up some sun on a peaceful stretch of sand, Florida has the perfect place for you to explore.
Browse around any of the locations below and discover plenty of things to do, places to eat, and much more to make your trip to the Sunshine State one to remember!
