Places you should visit in Florida Besides Disney
There are lots of things to see and do in Florida besides Disney. But, be sure to bring your walking shoes, bathing suit and plenty of sunscreen.
In Florida, the weather is typically nice but some what unpredictable. In the month of summers the temperatures tend to stay very high with extremely unbearable humidity.
Things start to cool down from September but not by much. In November and December you can enjoy somewhat. January and February are the winters.
Contrary to popular belief, unless your pool is heated, you don't want to swim from about November to April.
What ever time of year you visit Florida, you will have a great time. North Florida, also known as the Panhandle, holds places like the state capital of Tallahassee, some of the most beautiful white sandy beaches on the gulf coast. As you travel south, you can visit places like Jacksonville- home of the Jaguars, Gainesville- home of the Gators or St. Augustine- the oldest city in America.
Central Florida is certainly home to Disney but there is much more to it than that.
Fish on one of the thousands of lakes, drive through Clearwater Beach or visit a Tampa Bay Devil Rays game. East Central Florida holds amazing places like Kennedy Space Center, the Brevard Zoo, or take an airboat ride on the St. Johns River.
South Florida is known for it's glamour and crime. South Beach is the hot spot for A-Listers. Miami is full of culture and Naples is the place to retire rich. Be sure to visit Lake Okeechobee on the way down. Some of the biggest bass are caught here.
And finally, when you reach the southern most tip of Florida, you will know you've reached Heaven. The Florida Keys are one of the most amazing places to visit. Everyone should go at least once in their life.
