The Sunshine State is one of the world's biggest getaway locations for a lot of reasons. Pristine beaches, excellent food, outdoor adventures and world-class amusement parks combine to make a Florida vacation one-of-a-kind. But for those who want to enjoy it all and save a little money and perhaps planning time, too, nothing compares to Florida vacation packages.
No matter the desired destination, Florida has a lot to see. From the historic roots of St. Augustine and the beach fun of Fort Lauderdale to the high-class shopping of Coconut Grove and the night life of Miami, there's so much to see and do, one trip can't cover it all. Trying to plan the perfect trek can be nearly impossible. But for those who take advantage of vacation package offers, a lot of the "little details" that can bog down vacation fun melt away.
Vacation packages can range from simple offers that combine hotel accommodations and airfare to elaborate undertakings that cover everything from meals and amusement park tickets to hotel accommodations and even live entertainment. Tours are sometimes even included or at least offered as optional buy ups along with rental cars and more.
For those heading to Florida for vacation, the rental car is almost a must. Unlike many other tourist areas, Florida doesn't have a lot of public transportation. And even so, there's so much to see and do, to not have a car could cut out some fantastic and affordable side trips.
Here are some of the highlights of different parts of the Sun
shine State:
North Florida, Panhandle: The beaches of Destin are famous for their pristine quality. This area is known for its laid-back Florida style and warm Southern hospitality. Nearby visitors will find the state capital of Tallahassee and even Jacksonville within a fairly short driving distance. The great outdoors is key here with fishing, swimming, sailing and more all on tap.
East Coast – The East Coast of Florida is famous for its surfing beaches heralded for their Spring Break activity. From Fort Lauderdale to Daytona, the swim and surf fun is incredible. Here visitors will also find the ancient city of St. Augustine with its fort, oldest schoolhouse and more.
South Florida – Miami, Coral Gables, the keys and beyond are all major attractions here.
Central/West Florida – From Tampa and St. Petersburg to Orlando, this is the amusement park corridor. Disney, Busch Gardens, Universal, Sea World and Adventure Island are all found in this part of the state as is great shopping and museum hopping in St. Pete and Sarasota.
Outdoors types revel in Florida's many options. From hiking and biking to hunting, fishing and camping, the state is jam packed with outdoor areas to explore. The Everglades are spectacular as are the wooded areas in the Ocala National Forest.
Seeing all Florida has to offer in a single trip is nearly impossible, but well-created packages can go a long way toward helping vacationers achieve their goals while taking the details of planning off their shoulders.
