Orlando is the magical honeypot that draws most visitors to Florida thanks to its fun-filled theme parks and water parks . The city also boasts world-famous restaurants , high-end outlet shopping malls and superb golf courses .
Surrounded by water on three sides , many would say Florida ’ s most alluring assets are its beaches .
The Gulf of Mexico on Florida ’ s west coast is ideal for families with soft powdery sands and shallow warmer waters . Resorts include popular St Petersburg and Clearwater Beach ; the city of Tampa with its thriving downtown , historic old quarter and Busch Gardens ® theme park ; further south is the more exclusive Longboat Key ; the family-friendly and prime boating destination of Cape Coral ; sophisticated Naples ; charming Fort Myers ; and the shell-laden Sanibel Island .
The Northeast coast is possibly the state ’ s bestkept secret , with the urban charm of Jacksonville and St Augustine to the tranquillity and goldenhued sands of Amelia Island . Two hours drive south the action ramps up in Daytona Beach , a colourful seaside locale famed for its motorsports and gorgeous stretches of shoreline .
Florida ’ s Space Coast , in east Central Florida , includes surfing hotspot Cocoa Beach , the Kennedy Space Centre Visitor Complex and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge .
Further southeast the Gold Coast ’ s wide sands and stronger Atlantic Ocean waves are great for surf enthusiasts . Discover here exclusive Palm Beach ; fashionable Fort Lauderdale ’ s beaches and 165 miles of inland waterways ; and Miami with its Art Deco district and famed South Beach .
Continue south for the chain-link islands known as the Keys , which begin in Key Largo , and end in Key West , the USA ’ s southernmost point .
Florida ’ s panhandle lies in the state ’ s northwest . It ’ s renowned for outdoor adventure , family fun and its stunningly white beaches . Where better to soak all this up than Panama City Beach ?
Florida ’ s diverse habitats are home to an incredible assortment of wildlife , including reclusive alligators , playful manatees and beautifully plumed water birds . Havens include the vast swampy wilderness of the Everglades , and Crystal River , one of the few places to snorkel with manatees .
If golf is your game , Florida has more golf courses than any other state in the USA !
