The beautiful beaches of the Gulf of Mexico can be accessed at many points along the Gulf Coast. Florida is one long beach around the entire peninsula. About the only places that don\’t have great beaches are the island keys. It seems a little weird, but the keys are not the best beach destinations but they are great for other water sports and activities. Fishing, skiing, the traditional way and the jet version, scuba diving and sailing are all great activities while in the keys. The water is beautiful and the weather is warm and inviting.

While in Florida you will want to go to the southern most point and visit the Hemingway house. At the Hemingway house you will get to watch some odd six toes cats wondering on the premise. On the Atlantic side of the state you should visit the fabulous and famous Miami Beach. Venture further north and visit Cocoa Beach and its famous Ron Jon store that is open 24/7. Although Cocoa Beach is a tourist destination it is still a great place to visit whether you are looking to lay in the sun or surf.

There is more to Florida than just great beaches. There are many theme parks, including Disney, in the Orlando area. The east coast has Daytona Beach and along the Gulf of Mexico you can visit Tampa or Clearwater. All these destination are great for families, couples and friends.

Tampa is a fun city with plenty to do, for fine dining and sporting events, to world famous theme parks like Busch Gardens. Across the bridge is the Clearwater/ St. Petersburg area. Clearwater has one of the finest beaches in the whole state, with tons of white sand and plenty of sun and fun. There is so much to do there, that you might need more than a week to do it all.

Just south of St. Pete is Sarasota and Ft. Myers. In these areas you can find many great seafood restaurants and fine arts. A great place to visit in this area is the Ringling Museum which houses some of the greatest artwork anywhere. There are so many wonderful places in Florida to visit that you may want to rent a car and spend a week or two just traveling around visiting each and everyone of them.

You can find cheap airfares are great deals on expedia.com. When you travel for the holidays, getting a cheap flight can really make the whole visit much better.

If your lucky enough to have been to Disney World you will know that they have a ride in the Animal Kingdom known as Kilimanjaro Safari that is of course supposed to be based on the real thing. Is this ride just a really bad adaptation of the African Safari or is just something that you can actually compare.

Well the ride itself is actually very good indeed and in terms of a real safari can actually be a really cool alternative if you cannot afford or do not want to go on a safari. Continue reading 'African Safari For Florida'»
