What are Florida's Top Destinations?

It is hard to pick out Florida's best destinations. Of course, Disney World would be at the top of the list, as would our beaches. Here are a few ideas to help you choose the destination that's just right for you and your family.

  • Top 10 Florida Vacation Destinations are my picks for can't-miss places to go any time of the year.
  • Disney World has become Florida's top vacation destination. It's easy to see why — it has a great selection of on-property resorts for every budget, four great theme parks, plenty of shopping and world-class dining opportunities.
  • SeaWorld Orlando is the world's premier marine adventure park with nearby resort hotels for stay and play fun.
  • Universal Orlando is not just an attraction, but a resort too!
  • The beach is always a good choice and Florida has plenty of them. Try my Florida Beach Vacation Planner that includes Florida's beaches from A to Z.
  • Of course, Daytona Beach is perhaps Florida's most famous beach. It's where you can drive right on the beach and is known for its great surf.
  • Amelia Island may be one of Florida's best kept secrets. It's got it all — friendly southern hospitality and wide variety of activities... all within such a small area. The island doesn't feel crowded though, remaining one of the most beautiful and natural areas in Florida.
  • Camping in the Florida Keys is always a good bet.
  • If you need to get away for a few hours or a day, these Florida's Day Trips are perfect destinations. I've arranged them by location so you can easily choose one that isn't too far away.
