Florida Beach Vacation
Thinking about a Florida beach vacation? It’s definitely one of the best ways to relax and unwind from your everyday life. And while soaking in the tropical pleasure of a Florida beach is wonderful, there is also plenty to see and do.
Get ready for a beach vacation in Florida!
Why Florida Beaches?
Simply put, it’s because Florida is home to some of the finest beaches in the world. Whether you prefer a beach with tons of activites, a quiet Florida beach or something in between, it’s here for your vacationing pleasure.
When it comes to planning family vacations, Florida is tops on the list. And without further ado, here are three of the top Florida beaches for a wonderful vacation.
Clearwater Beach Vacation
If you have little ones in tow, consider a Clearwater Beach vacation. The water is warm and calm, perfect for swimming or just paddling around. You don’t want to miss the beach’s pleasures, for sure!
But it’s not only for youngsters. Aside from the sand and sun, there’s a gastronomic wonder wating for you at Frenchy’s, in the form of stone crab claws. Yummmmmmm!
Oh, and before I forget, check out the pier at sunset — you’ll think you’re in Mallory Square in Key West — lots of excitement for young and old alike!
Daytona Beach – The World’s Most Famous Beach
Daytona really doens’t need an introduction, because it’s billed as ‘the world’s most famous beach’. But let’s check it out!
If you love wide, sandy beaches, you’ll be in your element here. Whether you like strolling the shoreline, doing some people watching or building sandcastles, Daytona is the place to be. The waves are more pronounced here, with surfing available as an activity.
Still, Daytona Beach offers more, the Museum of Arts and Sciences is a great place to wander around in. Shop-a-holics can check out the Volusia Mall or the Ocean Walk Shops for some retail therapy. And of course, Disney World is a hop, skip and a jump away.
Yes, Daytona is a wonderful choice for a Florida beach vacation!
Ft. Lauderdale Beach
OK, the beach is a little narrow (compared to Clearwater and Daytona), but there is lots to see and do here. From the beach with all its activities (parasaling, kayaking, volleyball and sand-castle building to name a few) to the nearby sights, this is a great place for a vacation.
You have to visit the wavewall and the promenade — the place to see and be seen. The wavewall, extends for two whole miles along the main part of the beach and has become one of the signatures of the area. This is a great place if you like people-watching!
The promenade itself has been pedestrianised and allows for a relaxed gentle stroll overlooking the beach. Imagine the waving palms and the tropical breezes. Even in the winter this is a delight. (Or mabye even especially in winter, when the snow is drifting back at home.)
And of course there is Las Olas Boulevard not too far away, for those looking for upscale shopping and dining.
A Florida Beach Vacation
These are just three of the glorious Florida beach vacation opportunities. Others, such as St. Augustine Beach, Panama City and Cocoa Beach offer pleasures of their own.
Come on down to Florida — the natives are friendly and the beaches are glorious!
