Florida is unrivaled
for its outstanding selection of attractions, beginning with the
world's best theme parks: Disney
World, Epcot
Center, Sea
World, Universal
Studios, MGM
Studios, Busch
Gardens, Wet
'n Wild, Medieval Times,
and even Weeki Wachee
(where you can watch live mermaids swim). A family can easily spend
a week or two in the Orlando area and still leave with a wishlist
of things to do next time.
Florida also
boasts the Kennedy Space Center,
The Everglades, and a multitude
of large entertainment venues for touring Broadway productions,
comedy, concerts, live theater and more. Concert halls of all sizes
and outdoor amphitheaters are sprinkled across the state.
Sports fans
will be in heaven in Florida, following their favorite teams and
sports year-round: Catch some action by the Miami
Dolphins, Miami Heat,
Tampa Bucs, Tampa
Devil Rays, Orlando Magic,
Florida
Marlins, or Jacksonville Jaguars.
Many cities even have their own ice hockey teams now. And don't
forget spring training for Boston Red Sox, MinnesotaTwins, NY Yankees,
Cleveland Indians, Detoit Tigers, Cincinnati Reds and more . . .
it all happens in Florida.
You may never go home again once you've sampled Florida's fishing.
Inland, back-bay, surf- and offshore fishing are year-round sport
here. You're never far from a fishing guide, fishing boat, bait
shop, or body of water calling your name. Rather be under it than
on it? Bring your dive gear and head south. From Marco Island through
the Keys, the aquamarine water is clear as a bell, and tropical
fish and reefs are abundant. Other watersports include parasailing,
jet skiing, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, surfing, windsurfing, kite-boarding
and more. Pack an extra swimsuit !
Landlubber athletes
will be thrilled to find endless challenging golf courses and terrific
tennis clubs . . . play to your heart's content, or have a pro upgrade
your game.
Florida is also
fantastic for birding; several preserves, state and national parks
are maintained for your birding pleasure, including one of the best:
J.N. "Ding"
Darling National Wildlife Preserve on Sanibel Island.
You can't visit
Florida without getting some sand in your shoes: thousands of miles
of pristine coast, ocean waves, soothing surf, and seashells await
you. Choose the west coast of Florida for gentle surf , seashells
and breathtaking sunsets. Visit our east coast for big ocean waves,
Atlantic-style fishing piers and boardwalks along the beach. The
Panhandle offers up powdery beaches with dunes and Appalachicola
oysters.
Whatever your
pleasure, we guarantee you'll enjoy Florida attractions, whenever
and wherever you come to visit !.
