So Much To Do In One Fabulous State

January 30th, 2010 by Thomas Clarke

Along the Golf Coast, there are many places that you can enjoy the beaches along the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, on of the best places to visit the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico is in Florida. Florida is a peninsula that goes around the entire peninsula. Although many of the beaches in Florida are perfect for a beach vacation, the Island Keys is not ones of these places. Thanks to the beautiful climate and water the Keys is perfect for a vacation filled with water sports, but not much more than that.

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 are things to do other than just hang out on the beach. Ninety minutes away in Orlando is Disney and all the other theme parks that you would want to visit and just a couple of hours north is Daytona Beach. Daytona is another great destination on the Florida east coast. A couple of hours across the state, on the Gulf of Mexico side is Tampa and Clearwater.

If you are visiting the Tampa area you will find there is never a dull moment. Tampa is full of fine dining establishments, sporting events and theme parks. From there you just drive across the bridge and you are in the Clearwater/St. Petersburg area where you can enjoy a lot of fun and some of the greatest beached in all of Florida.

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.
