The Sunshine State has 360 miles of coastline and more than 180 official beaches! The state is also home to exceptional springs, two cool cities, Miami & Tampa, 3 National Parks and great wildlife to see along the way. The state can be divided into several sections, the Keys, South Florida, Central Florida and the north part of the state. All of them have their own charm and activities.

So, how do you start planning for your ultimate Florida road trip? Where do you go? Well, you are in luck, I have the perfect road trip itinerary ideas just for you! I will give you plenty of options for you to choose from.

Tips for nailing your Florida trip

The difficult act of balancing enough time on the beach. I know it can be tricky to either stay on the beach for the duration of your trip or conversely, not spend enough time. The inland has enough activities to do in a lifetime but if you only spend time at the beach you will be missing half of the action. I would suggest splitting your time in half and half, doing activities on land and on the water.
Do not underestimate the distances. Everything in Florida is far away, you will need a car for everything. Florida is huge, it is one of those states where you can drive for 8 hours straight and still be in Florida. So this tip is to plan your distances carefully as you don’t have to spend too many hours in a car or worse, stuck in traffic. Beware that there is heavy traffic between all the major cities.
Florida is hot and humid year-round but that doesn’t mean that winters are chilly. If you are like me, leaving the harsh Canadian winters to go sunbathing in Florida seems like a good idea but remember that you might need to pack a light sweater as temperatures can go to around 10C between November to March. Also, the temperature of the water can be a little cold.
There are a lot of animal activities, please be a responsible traveller and don’t engage in activities that have animals in captivity or put animals in circus-type activities. If you want to admire wildlife, please do it properly as a responsible traveller in their natural habitat.
Beware of hurricane season which is from June to November.

Florida road trip itinerary ideas

I have asked a few travel bloggers to share their road trip ideas with you! As a last option, I have detailed a 10-day Florida itinerary road trip that will take you through many of the must-do in the state.

Florida Keys

This Florida Keys itinerary is written by Megan Starr from Megan and Aram

There are so many amazing things to do in the Florida Keys but one thing is for certain, the best way to experience the keys is by taking a road trip from Miami to Key West!

This popular road trip can take anywhere from 3-4 hours to 3-4 days depending on how you choose to spend your time and how many stops you want to make. Before hitting the islands, you can make a detour to Everglades National Park for some sightseeing or Homestead for some lunch.

Your first stop on your Miami to Key West road trip (once you hit the Keys) is Key Largo. This small island town is 69 miles from Miami and about a 1.5-hour drive. Some of the main attractions in Key Largo are John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park (an underground ʻmuseumʻ of sorts!), Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock, and more. On the gulf side of the island, you can actually go manatee spotting in the early morning.

From Key Largo, the next area to make your way to is Marathon (48 miles away). On the way, you will see signs for Islamorada where youʻll find Lignumvitae Key State Park, Indian Key Historic State Park, and some really amazing craft breweries in Islamorada and Tavernier. If you get hungry, be sure to stop by Wahooʻs Bar and Grill for some delicious fried conch! Continuing on to Marathon, there are some affordable hotels if you wish to break up the day and stay overnight. Marathon is a fantastic destination for snorkelling and water activities!

And finally, you can continue from Marathon to Key West which is about a 45-mile drive and just over an hour in driving time. One essential stop to make is Bahia Honda State Park, one of the gems of the Florida Keys! Be sure to make a half-day stop there and enjoy the 500 acres of beaches and nature trails on the uninhabited island! It costs about $8 per vehicle and is open from 8 am until sunset.

Finally, you will end up in Key West where you can grab a key lime pie, a cold beer or a margarita, and head to the beach or for a sunset sailing tour! A road trip from Miami to Key West will undoubtedly be one of the most memorable trips you will make in the southeastern United States! Here, don’t forget to visit Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum and the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. Duval Street is where all the action happens and is filled with restaurants and bars. The Key West Lighthouse is another must-do.

This keys road trip is done thanks to the iconic Seven Mile Bridge that connects Knight's Key to Little Duck Key. This section of the Overseas Highway offers a mesmerizing drive over the Gulf of Mexico.

Dry Tortugas National Park is a hidden gem of the region. It is located about 70 miles west of Key West this remote and pristine archipelago is known for its crystal-clear waters, coral reefs, and historical significance. Only accessible only by seaplane or boat, the park is home to Fort Jefferson, a massive 19th-century coastal fortress and one of the largest masonry structures in the Americas. This is a snorkeler and divers paradise but also the perfect place to see migratory birds.

Psst: Mel here, the Florida Keys road trip is an absolute must-do. If you are debating which option to take, I will hands down take this one especially if it is the first time visiting the state. This fits perfectly into a one week Florida trip.

Bahia Honda State, part of the Keys itinerary

Paradise Coast

by Disha Smith from Disha Discovers

Located in Southwest Florida, the Paradise Coast is a picturesque region containing the cities and towns of Naples, Marco Island, Everglades City, Immokalee, and Ave Maria. The Everglades, meanwhile, is a vast and unique wetland area that extends from just south of Naples all the way to Miami.

First up is the small town of Immokalee, which is known for being the center of Florida’s agricultural industry, with over 30% of the state’s produce being grown in the area. While there isn't much to do within the town, the outskirts are home to a few must-visit natural attractions. Audubon's Corkscrew Sanctuary consists of a 2.25-mile boardwalk and is one of the best places in Florida to see alligators, birds, and other wildlife in their natural habitat.

The next stop is Ave Maria. It's about a twelve-minute drive from Immokalee and is home to a university, shops, and restaurants. There isn't much to see here, but Ave Maria Oratory is worth a visit. About an hour away from Ave Maria is the beautiful city of Naples. Naples is known for its upscale shopping and dining, as well as its beautiful beaches.

There are many different things to do in Naples, but some of the best include visiting 5th Avenue, Naples Botanical Gardens, Naples Pier, and the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. Of course, no trip to Naples would be complete without a visit to the beach. Naples Beach is a great place to start, and from there you can explore the various beaches in the area such as Vanderbilt Beach, Clam Pass Beach, Lowdermilk Park, Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, Barefoot Beach, and more.

Marco Island is the fourth stop on this road trip. It's located about 45 minutes south of Naples and is known for its beautiful beaches and world-class golf courses. Tigertail Beach is one of the most popular beaches on Marco Island and is a great place to relax, swim, and enjoy the stunning views. You can also take a boat tour or kayak around the Ten Thousand Islands. Last but not least, Cape Romano Dome House is a must-see. This unique house was built in the 1980s and is now abandoned.

Everglades City is the final stop on this road trip. It's located about forty minutes away from Marco Island and is the gateway to Everglades National Park. This small town is known for its airboat tours, which are the best way to see alligators and other wildlife in the area. Other things to do in Everglades City include visiting the Museum of the Everglades and going on a guided kayak trip.

Once you're in Everglades National Park, there's plenty to see and do. Some of the best spots include Anhinga Trail, Alligator Alley, and the Flamingo Visitor Center. Shark Valley is a unique and ecologically diverse destination. The highlight of the area is the Shark Valley Observation Tower, providing panoramic views of the vast landscape and an opportunity to spot a variety of wildlife, including alligators, wading birds, and turtles. The Shark Valley visitor center offers tram tours and bicycle rentals.

Barefoot Beach part of the Paradise Coast itinerary

Orlando & the Space Coast

by Candice from CS Ginger

One of the best places for a road trip in Florida is from Orlando through the Space Coast. If you are flying into Florida, it is easiest to start your road trip in Orlando, Florida. Flights into Orlando are usually less expensive than other airports in Florida plus there are lots of fun things to do in Orlando.

If you want to visit a theme park, there are lots of great options in Orlando. You can visit one of our Walt Disney World parks like Magic Kingdom or you can visit other options like Universal Studios or Legoland. If theme parks aren’t your thing, there are still lots of fun things to do. You can swim or kayak through the natural springs, and find lots of fun things to do on International Drive.

The drive from Orlando out to the Space Coast is about one hour (55 miles). Florida’s Space Coast is about 72 miles long and follows a beautiful part of the Florida coastline.

One of the best things to do along the Space Coast is to visit the Kennedy Space Center. The campus is divided into different areas based on missions and chronological eras. The Race to the Moon Zone is a lot of fun and shares great history about going to the moon for the first time.

You can’t visit the Space Coast without spending time at the beach. There are about 72 miles of coastline on the Space Coast so it is easy to find a beach to enjoy. One of the best beaches and small towns along the coast is Cocoa Beach. There is a fun downtown area where you can walk the pier, take surf lessons, and do some shopping.

If you are looking for a quieter beach, you can drive south for less touristy beaches. You can also stop by the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge.

If you are spending a few days in Orlando you can stay at Universal Orlando Resort or at Disney World Resort to maximize the fun.

North Florida

I haven’t had the chance -yet- to visit the panhandle region, situated along the Gulf of Mexico in northwest Florida. But here are some of the main attractions. Tallahassee, Pensacola, Destin & Panama City Beach are some of the top places to visit. The four towns are all within a 1 or 3-hour drive which makes it perfect to visit in a 1-week itinerary.

Panama City Beach is renowned for its stunning white-sand beaches and crystal-clear emerald waters. Pensacola has the perfect blend of history, culture, and coastal beauty. Must-do includes the beautiful architecture, the iconic Pensacola Lighthouse and the National Naval Aviation Museum. Destin is renowned for its pristine white-sand beaches and emerald-green waters. The town is known as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village". The Harbor Boardwalk is the main hub with activities and restaurants. Destin is also home to the famous Crab Island, a sandbar hotspot where boats anchor, creating a floating playground for visitors. Finally, Tallahassee, the capital city of Florida, is a unique blend of history and Southern charm. This inland city not only has a rich political and cultural heritage but also lush landscapes that offer outdoor enthusiasts opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and exploring nature trails. Around 30 min drive from the capital city you will find Wakulla Springs. This is one of the largest and deepest freshwater springs in the world. You can take a boat tour to explore the spring's basin, where the clear waters offer a glimpse into the submerged cave system. The park offers countless opportunities for birdwatching and wildlife observation while you hike.

On the other side, on the east coast, you have the famous Amelia Island. The Island is a 3h drive from Tallahassee. This island has pristine beaches that span for 13 miles, Victorian architecture, and a rich blend of Southern charm. Fernandina Beach, the island's main town, boasts a historic district with well-preserved 19th-century architecture, quaint shops, and a vibrant waterfront. This is the perfect stop to relax by the water.

Central and South Florida

This is the best itinerary if you want to mix a variety of activities, from the cool Miami vibes to the historical St-Augustine. This is also a longer itinerary of around 10 days or more, it all depends on how much drive and stops you want to do. This is the last option in this article about Florida road trips.

Of course, you can mix and match itineraries ideas and incorporate for example the Space Coast ideas or the Paradise Coast to this one. Or, you can add the Keys after Miami to continue on a longer trip!

map of your 10-day Florida road trip itinerary

Saint-Augustine - 1 or 2 days

From Montreal, we landed in Fort Lauderdale and rented a car at the airport. We immediately started to drive north to our first stop, Saint -Augustine. However, I would advise you to stop at West Palm Beach is is 1 hour north of FLL. The town is renowned for its museums, upscale shopping districts, and scenic waterfront views. There are good restaurants and it can be a great way to kick-start your coast road trip.

This charming Spanish colonial town is a 5-hour drive north of Miami. The drive takes you through the “Florida Historical Coast” near the Kennedy Space Center and Daytona Beach.

Saint-Augustine is America’s oldest city, it was founded in 1565 by the Spanish Empire. After the Spaniards left North America, the city saw occupations from both the French & British Empires. The colonial district reflects the rich past of this historic town. The Castillo de San Marcos, Basilica Cathedral, Flagler College and the Fountain of Youth are the main landmarks of the town. The small city size makes it easy to visit by walking in a day or two. The fort is directly located over the sea and gives a beautiful view of the blue waters. The Flagler College, also called the Hotel Ponce de Leon, is listed as a National Historic Landmark. The building is considered one of the finest examples of Spanish Renaissance architecture. If you are an architectural or history lover, then you will enjoy a few days of strolling in the town and learning about its rich history.

Unfortunately, I found that the colonial town is a big tourist trap, full of Ghost tours, Pirate ships and expensive tourist shops. All these tourist activities are mostly packed around the pedestrian street of St. George. We went during the peak of summer and we found it to be very crowded.

Florida’s wilderness is also very close to the town and you can take Dolphin, Birding and Nature tours or do SUP at the Anastasia State Park. The beaches in St-Augustine are not as pristine as the ones in South Florida. However, they are less crowded and have more vegetation surrounding the waters which gives them a unique touch.

Where to eat in Saint-Augustine? The restaurant The Floridian offers southern food with only local and sustainable ingredients. The decor is very simple yet beautiful with pastel colours and their terrace is full of greenery and vintage-style light bulbs hanging over your head.

What not to miss? St-Augustine distillery

The distillery uses only local ingredients. They also run their mashes through copper pot-stills for original flavours. Their selection of spirits is composed of Vodka, Rum, Gin and Whisky. Their gin has hints of oranges and other spices, a true Florida taste. This was my favourite drink!

Located in an old ice-manufacturing plant during the roaring twenties, they remodelled the space and kept most of its initial look. Their bar, Ice Plant, is decorated like a bar from the prohibition era with soft lights and brick walls. Their drinks are phenomenal and offer original and delicious cocktails.

I recommend staying in Saint-Augustine for not more than 2 days.

Castillo de San Marcos National Monument **by Candice from** **CS Ginger**

Ocala region - 1 or 2 days

Ocala region is north of Orlando and offers many nature activities in north-central Florida. The town of Ocala is also known for its many options of horseback riding. This is a good hub for many of the activities below in the central Florida road trip section. We did not have a chance to do all the activities below. If you spend time exploring the region fully, 1 or 2 days is probably not enough.

Ocala National Forest is north of Orlando and it is a wildlife oasis in between the theme parks and the beaches. The forest is a sand pine scrub forest. The highlights are Juniper Springs, Alexander Springs and Salt Springs are natural pools and canoe runs. There are also hundreds of lakes and ponds like Lake Kerr and the enormous Lake George. On the historic side, you can take the Yearling Trail which takes you to a sinkhole and the remains of 19th-century homesteads. Juniper Springs is a natural pool that is a bit disappointing, in my opinion, as it was much smaller than what we expected. Plus, it did not offer anything exceptional to see. However, if you like reptiles and bugs, then this can be the perfect destination for you. I just didn’t feel in my comfort zone with all the reptiles.

Silver Springs State River is known for its beautiful waters and its different shades of beautiful crystalline blue to green. The major attraction is the glass-bottom boat tour where you can see the deep bottom of the spring and the fish living in there. The spring has been a tourist attraction since the 1870s. There is a museum and environmental education center in the village of historic Cracker buildings that narrates the story of Florida’s pioneers. The national park offers different activities such as hiking and kayaking. It has vast wildlife, anything from bears to big spiders.

One hour south of the Ocala National Forest you will find the Blue Spring State Park. This spring offers crystal-clear blue waters and the highlight is visiting the manatees. It is a designated manatee refuge during the winter months, attracting large numbers of West Indian manatees seeking the warm spring waters. In the park, you can swim, snorkel, and picnic while observing the gentle giants in their natural habitat. The park offers a scenic boardwalk along the spring run, providing an opportunity for wildlife viewing, including various bird species and fish. Sadly we did not get a chance to visit this last stop.

One hour west of the Ocala National Forest, located on Florida's Nature Coast, lies Crystal River town with the main attraction – the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge. This is also branded as the manatee capital of the world! Here you have the opportunity to interact with them. I please beg you to do your research beforehand on how to be a responsible traveller so you don’t harm them. Besides viewing these giants, you have the Crystal River Archaeological State Park which showcases ancient Native American burial mounds, offering a glimpse into the area's history.

If you like quaint little towns then Cedar Key should be on your list. One hour south of Ocala on Florida's Gulf Coast scenic drives, you have Cedar Key and its Old Florida charm, laid-back atmosphere, and natural beauty. The Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge protects the area's diverse ecosystem. The Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge is also nearby.

The Road through the Deep South

The road between all our destinations really took us through the Deep South of the U.S. We saw uncountable churches near trailer parks; and Confederate flags waving from houses and on pick-up trucks. Numerous bumper stickers claiming that the confederate flag is their heritage and not a form of hate -_- The highway was also filled with anti-abortion billboards and religious messages. In some places, I felt uncomfortable as I knew I was been scrutinized for being a Latina. What a big contrast compared to a big multicultural metropolis like Miami.

As for food, it was hard to thrift away from fast-food chains. Forget about local products and fancy restaurants: this is restaurant chain territory. Also, be aware that the liquor stores are closed on Sundays, the holy day. I recommend staying in this region for not more than 2 days so you can have time to get some rest with all the driving.

Tampa and St-Petersburg Area - 3 days

Tampa, St-Petersburg and Clearwater are very close to each other, they are the big metropolis area on the west coast of the Floridian peninsula. Tampa is the second biggest city in the state. The area offers a very different vibe than Miami, way more laid back. Plus, the agglomeration has more museums to go to. The party scene is less present and so are the tourists. The Gulf Coast beaches are as beautiful as on the opposite coast.

What to do in The St-Petersburg Area

Catch the sunset

Lay down on the beach and wait for this beautiful sky spectacle. The sunsets on the west coast of Florida are breathtaking compared to the other coast. The rich warm colours blend perfectly with the palm trees and the blue ocean. Frankly, I could spend every day watching the sun go down at the beach and I could never get tired. So grab your picnic basket and watch the sun go down, trust me you will not regret it.

Fort De Soto Park

The fort is the perfect activity to spend a relaxed day at the beach. In this beautiful state park, you will not want to stay tanning, you will want to hike, skate or bike at the seven-mile, multi-purpose trail, swim & explore the vestiges of the fort. Overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, the fort played a significant role in the Spanish-American War era. You can learn all about the Battery at the museum. You can also rent a canoe or a kayak to navigate the two-and-a-quarter-mile paddling trail.

The park offers many picnic tables to enjoy the whole day at the park. When swimming, beware that the gulf is full of fish schools and rays.

Dali Museum

When visiting the museum, you will see all the eras and transitions of the surreal artist. The museum has an unparalleled collection of Spanish artists. The expositions as well as the exterior architecture and the Avant Gardens are impressive. Strategically located downtown by the waterfront, the museum is close to other activities and restaurants nearby.

30-min North of Clearwater you have Tarpon Springs. The city is also known as the "Sponge Capital of the World," because of its rich history of sponge diving, a tradition introduced by Greek immigrants in the early 20th century. Visitors can explore the historic Sponge Docks, lined with shops selling sponges, Greek pastries, and souvenirs.

Where to eat & drink in Tampa?

The Tampa Bay area has become a hub for breweries with the rise of the industry in recent years. The two cities (Tampa and Saint-Petersburg) offer a wide selection of beer each with different types, aromas and tastes. There are so many craft brewers that there are bus tours to drive you between the breweries.

Out of the beers we sampled, there were 3 breweries that caught the most of our attention. The first was Cigar City Brewing, wherein theme with the name, you can get hand-rolled cigars, like in Cuba. Here you will find beers like the Jai Alai an IPA with citrus flavours like tangerine and clementine. This beer has won multiple awards, it has an A- rating on Beer Advocate and on RateBeer a swopping 99/100. Trust me, you will want to try it!

At St Pete brewing CO you can spend your night playing retro video games in the tasting room while tasting beers like the Scottish Ale, a malty beer with hints of Caramel. Lastly, Cycle Brewing offers unconventional beers like a stout aged in a rum barrel.

After all this drinking, you must wonder where to eat. We stumbled at the Conch Republic restaurant which offers great crab cakes, a large seafood variety and awesome desserts. They also have an interesting rum and beer selection. The decor is a little kitsch, but it makes you feel like a small restaurant in a port.

John’s pass is possibly the most touristic place in the St-Pete area, as you can find everything from tourist T-shirts to boat tours. However, on this boardwalk, you will find great fish tacos and a beautiful view of the ocean. If you are lucky, as we were, you can even spot dolphins hunting in the bay.

I recommend staying in the region of Saint-Pete for around 3 days so you can enjoy the beaches to their maximum. After all the driving, you will want to stay and relax a little.

On your way to Miami, you can stop by Fort Myers to see the Manatees. We had stopped at the Lee County Manatee Park, a waterfront park that provides up-close views of manatees, kayak rentals and very small paved trails. These animals are endangered, and you can see them in their natural habitat. They like to come here because the waters are warm. The entrance to the park is free, you only need to pay for parking. Did you know that the manatees are also called marine elephants? This is because they have a lot of biological similarities with one of the big five. Isn’t it crazy?

Miami - 3 days

Our last stop on our 10-day road trip was Miami.

I’ve been going to the greater Miami region since I’m 3 years old as a large part of my family lives there. To me, Miami feels like a part of South America that mistakenly ended up in the States. Did you know that more than 50% of Miami's population is Latin or of Latin descent? It’s not uncommon to hear Spanish or Cumbia as you wander the streets. The weather is always amazing and the accessibility from the south of the continent has allowed Latinos from everywhere to leave an imprint of mestizaje in this city. Below, you will find different attractions other than the popular blue beach of South Beach.

I have made a complete travel guide about Miami, don’t forget to check it out!

Perez Art Museum

Jorge M. Pérez is literally the embodiment of what Miami means; he is from Argentina to Cuban parents of Spanish origin and lived in Colombia before moving to Miami. The contemporary art museum and gardens reflect the city's willingness to depart its image from the party scene and become an international player in the art scene. The architecture of the building is a jewel in itself if you don’t have the time to enter to see a full exhibition. I liked walking by the gardens with the view of the water and interacting with the Soto sculpture at the entrance.

Calle Ocho

Do wander through the streets of Calle Ocho or “Little Havana” and don’t forget to eat some delicious Cuban sandwiches, an exquisite mix of ham, swiss cheese, pickles, mustard and roasted pork with a cafecito (Coffee). After your belly is filled with all this food, spend your afternoon at the Perez Art Museum for contemporary art and interesting architecture.

Wynwood

For lovers of graffiti and murals, Wynwood is for you. Wynwood is the artsiest and most hipster neighbourhood in the city and in South Florida. Packed with art galleries, cafes, and bars, the neighbourhood is candy for your eyes. For once in Florida, you can leave your car and enjoy walking into canvas-size wall art pieces.

The Art Deco district

South Beach has probably made you dream at least once with its Art Deco buildings, palm trees, and crystalline beaches. Walk along Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive and enjoy the architecture of the "sun and fun" era with its extensive palette of pastel colours.

Where to eat & drink in Miami?

As I said before, Miami is a mix and max of all countries in South America so I would suggest trying cuisines from this region. In search of the perfect mix of a great restaurant and great views, we went to La Mar by the renowned chef Gaston Acurio. The restaurant is located in Brickell Key and gives astonishing views of the water and the sky-risers. The cuisine showcases the diverse and rich flavours of Peruvian gastronomy. The restaurant was voted as one of the 100 most scenic restaurants in America.

Wyndwood has a lot of delicious restaurants to delight your taste buds, here are my favourite places

1-800 Lucky is a cool 10,000-square-foot food hall inspired by the night Asian market, it has everything from Ramen to Vietnamese sandwiches. the vibe of the place is very cool. At times, I felt transported to Brooklyn. This is where the hip and cool kids come to hang out. The night that we went, the DJs were amazing!

Doya is a Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand that offers Greek cuisine.

The Taco Stand is an authentic taqueria that will bring you back to Mexico. the best plate is the Surf and turf fries, I will dream about them.

If you are looking for sweet indulgence then head to The Salty Donut. These are hand-made doughnuts made daily with funky flavours like the maple bacon brioche with Miami Smokers’ bacon crackling topping or the guava-and-cheese doughnut.

Miami can be hot and ice cream is always a good way to cool down. Salt & Straw is originally from Portland and serves delicious and original flavours of ice cream. I had a vegan roasted pineapple and coconut cream, simply delicious.

I recommend staying in Miami for around 3 days so you can enjoy the city and its beaches in order to recharge your batteries before going back to work!

So which section of these road trip ideas are you taking next? Are you ready for your 2 week Florida vacation?

Practical tips

Road Tolls

You will be driving a lot and you will most likely be going to have to pay tolls, I will suggest adding them to your vacation budget as you will pass by many of them. The easiest way to pay is to have the Sun Pass, you can request it when you are going to rent your car. Here is all the info about Florida tolls.

TAP WATER

You can drink tap water so ditch your plastic bottle and fill your reusable bottle at the hotel.

Getting in and out

The most popular airports are Miami (MIA), Orlando (MCO), Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Tampa (TPA). You will have plenty of international and national connections with these airports. These are also the best places to pick up your rental car.

CURRENCY

The currency is the US Dollar, the sign is $. The dollar can be easily found abroad at any currency exchange office. Credit and debit cards are accepted everywhere.
