Florida

Every year visitors escape northern winters to bask in Florida's warmth. They are lured to the 'Sunshine State' by the promise of clear skies and 800 miles (1,288km) of spectacular sandy beaches. A host of kid-pleasers, from Busch Gardens to Walt Disney World, makes this the country's most popular year-round family vacation destination.

Here you can choose from a wide array of accommodations, from deluxe resorts to mom-and-pop motels. You can visit remote little towns like Apalachicola or a megalopolis like Miami. Try out fresh seafood, from amberjack to oysters and then play in outdoor pursuits like bicycling, golfing, or kayaking. Despite overdevelopment in many parts of the state, Floridians have maintained thousands of acres of wilderness areas, from the little respite of Clam Pass County Park in downtown Naples to the magnificent Everglades National Park.

Some of the best family attractios are: Parrot Jungle and Gardens, Sea Grass Adventures, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Universal Studios Florida, Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, Kennedy Space Center, and Daytona USA.
