Holidays in Florida

Florida has always been known as the Sunshine State and the holidays are a great place for fun in the sun.  If you are trying to decide between a relaxing warm-weather getaway and an action-packed adventure holiday visit Florida and you don’t have to choose, you can have it all. 

The heart of the action is in Orlando but as it covers such a large area you will find mini-resorts everywhere.  Kissimmee, Lake Buena Vista, Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, Sea World Orlando, Discovery Cove and Busch Gardens Africa to the quirky charm of smaller attractions including Cypress Gardens Adventure Park are to name just a few. And, Orlando's theme parks are always adding exciting rides and shows so you are sure to find something new each time you visit and with over 100 attractions so no one will ever be bored on your family holiday.

But leave the happy atmosphere of the parks and you'll find a different atmosphere instantly. Head west to St Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa where miles of coastline swathed with golden beaches await you.  

But just half an hours drive north you will come to the real Orlando, with its business district, history and plenty of good restaurants and bars.

Further south you'll find Naples and the Everglades National Park home to wildlife such as crocodiles and manatees.  The Keys are at the southernmost tip of Florida and are a haven for diving enthusiast and those who just want a more laid back and relaxed holiday at a slower pace.  In contrast, nearby Miami a real party location. With its art-deco heritage and Spanish influences you can be sure of a great time.

An outing to the east coast is a must for any summer holiday to Florida. The Atlantic seas crash against the shoreline with dramatic results. And with Fort Lauderdale, known as Little Venice and the NASA Kennedy Space Centre you'll be spoilt for choice with things to do here.
