The Nifty Student’s Travel Blog

I have already blogged about numerous travel destinations in the great state of Florida, but let me zoom out the focus and look at what the entire state has to offer. Florida is pancaked by the Gulf of Mexico to its West and the vast Atlantic Ocean to its East. Both of these large bodies of water help characterize the culture and travel spots throughout the state of Florida.

Whether you are along the Gulf or along the Atlantic, Florida has an abundance of vacation homes that are attractively located either near mega tourist attractions or in beautiful isolated areas. So either on the coast or inland, Florida vacation rentals are the best alternative for a vacation stay.

There is never really a bad time to visit the state of Florida. Nicknamed as the “Sunshine State” Florida is characterized by an abundance of sunshine, giving many northern snowbirds a reason to make Florida a travel destination in any season. Both coasts offer fantastic beaches such as in Fort Lauderdale, St. Petersburg, Miami, West Palm Beach, just to name a few.

Florida is also home to many of the United States great sports teams and great fans. The Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are two of the NFL’s premier teams. And of course, at the moment, the Tampa Bay Rays are playing the MLB World Series. So when traveling to Florida, make sure to buy a ticket and see one of these great teams.

Agricultural, particularly citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits and tangerines, dominate much of Florida’s economy. These offer great alternatives as tourist spots for the agriculturally minded family. But a majority of the travelers to Florida go to visit the family destination, Walt Disney World Resort. This is the largest vacation resort in the world, consisting of four theme parks and over twenty hotels.

The state of Florida has so much to offer for tourists and travel-goers; warm beaches, historic regions, and family destinations. For a great overview detailing what the whole state has to offer, visit justflorida.org for more information.
