All About Vacations in Florida

From historic St. Augustine in the north to the exciting Latin soul of Miami in south Florida, the Altantic coast is the heartbeat of Florida.

Florida's Gulf Coast

Any article telling all about vacations in Florida must mention the state's beautiful Gulf Coast. More casual and relaxed than Florida's east coast, the Gulf Coast offers a number of beautiful beach communities, such as relaxed Sanibel Island, Captiva, St. Petersburg Beach, and elegant Naples as well as active Tampa. Attractions on the west coast include historic Tarpon Springs, Busch Gardens "Africa" amusement park, and miles and miles of beach.

In and Around Orlando

Once mostly orange groves and rural towns, Central Florida has grown in the last 30 years to be one of the world's favorite destinations. Home to Walt Disney World and its four major theme parks – Epcot, the Magic Kingdom, Disney-MGM Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom Park – as well as Universal Orlando Resort, Cypress Gardens, and Seaworld Orlando. During February and March, the area also plays home to several major league baseball spring training camps. There's something here to interest everyone, young and older.

The Florida Panhandle

Florida's Panhandle, the narrow strip of land along the Gulf of Mexico in northwestern Florida, is known for its uncrowded, wide stretches of white sand beach; its plentiful, "fresh from the Gulf" seafood restaurants; and its challenging and scenic golf courses. The region includes the spring break favorite, Panama City, as well as the state capital, Tallahassee, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and Pensacola.

All About Vacations in the Florida Keys

From Miami to Key West, the Florida Keys are a string of small islands tied together by the scenic 129-miles stretch of Highway one. Its numerous bridges connect Islamorada, Key Largo, Marathon Key, and Big Pine Key before arriving at Key West, America's southernmost city. The Florida Keys are known for excellent sports fishing, spectacular sunsets, and a culture that draws as much from the Caribbean Islands as it does from the states.
