FLORIDA
The Sunshine State is justifiably famous as the family holiday capital of the world . From the thrills and spills of the theme parks and the allure of the shopping malls, Orlando and Kissimmee offer non-stop action and endless excitement for all ages. Yet down on the Gulf Coast the Florida lifestyle slows to a more leisurely pace, with golden beaches and offshore islands lapped by warm blue waters, some breathtaking natural beauty and a wealth of wildlife.
H I G H L I G H T S O F F LO R I DA In Florida there is so much to see and do that you are likely to have to come back again to fit it all in. Aside from the theme parks, there are some quintessential beach resorts on the Gulf and Gold Coasts, pretty island resorts like Sanibel and Capitiva Island and the Florida Keys where you can bask in the sunshine. Shop in the exclusive boutiques of Miami or bag a bargain at one of the many huge outlet malls. Nature lovers should explore the waterlogged ecosystems of the Everglades National Park, and for something out of this world, head to Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Centre.
