People have families just so they can have Florida family vacations!  To get you started here are just some of our suggestions for your trip.

Florida is the Sunshine State

As we are talking about the sunshine state then sun and sand make for a good starting point, and fortunately there is an abundance of both.  Our favorite place to experience the beaches of Florida has to be South Beach.  Its proximity to Miami City means you can combine the best of a city break, while returning at the end of your day to the sophistication and tranquility of your hotel.  South Beach is great for families because it is so easy to get around on foot.  Everything is near and close to hand, so family strolls before dinner are easy and relaxing.

While you are resting by the ocean or your pool, the children can be trying one of the many fishing experiences that are available.  The clear calm waters in this area make it a wonderful place to either introduce your children to the water, or develop any existing swimming and diving skills they already have. There is a fishing package for everyone from a total beginner to a seasoned old fisherman.

Swiming With the Dolphins

For most children the experience of seeing and sometimes even swimming with Dolphins will be the high point of the vacation.  Florida family vacations and dolphins go together. A visit to the dolphins also comes under ‘educational things to do’.  Most dolphin centers go to great lengths to teach the children about these magical creatures, their habitat and habits.  Your children will never look at Flipper in the same way.

Kennedy Space Center

Another great and truly unique Floridian day out is a visit to the Kennedy Space Center. Adults and children alike flock here for what is an inspirational and fun day out.  You will be amazed at the questions your children will be asking and how they come away with a new interest in worlds outside of their own.

The Florida Everglades

And finally there are the Florida Everglades.  You could spend an entire family vacation here exploring the flora and fauna of this nature park. However, if you are running out of time (all good things come to an end), then try and fit in a few hours, it’s a different and fascinating world.
