Miami, The Keys & Atlantic Florida
Multi-cultural Miami offers white sands, ocean breezes, year-round sunshine, and one of the hottest nightlife scenes in America. Miami's trendy South Beach also packs the largest concentration of Art Deco buildings in the world. Heading north, stylish Fort Lauderdale offers beautiful beaches, 300 miles of canals and the largest outlet mall in Florida. The Florida Keys stretch over 120 miles south from Miami, starting with Key Largo, a great place for diving the Florida Reef. The sea and sky come together as you drive the Overseas Highway past tiny Duck Key and Islamorada, with their world-class fishing and snorkelling. The funloving resort town of Key West lies just 90 miles from Cuba, its colourful streets owing more to the Caribbean than the USA.

Heading northwards from Fort Lauderdale along Florida's beautiful Atlantic Coast, you'll find the exclusive resort of Palm Beach. This town of palatial homes and manicured gardens started life as an elegant winter resort for the wealthy, and is still a place to enjoy designer shopping, world-class restaurants and lazing away indulgent days on sandy beaches.

Just an hour's drive from Orlando, the low-key resort of Cocoa Beach is a great antidote to any exploration of the theme parks, and hence a firm favourite with families. It offers great surfing, gorgeous white sandy beaches, and lies just seven miles from the Kennedy Space Centre and the surprising Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge.

Daytona could be considered the consummate Florida beach town, popular with college kids during spring break, and with motorsports enthusiasts year-round thanks to attractions such as the Daytona International Speedway. With countless miles of white sand, stretches of which you can drive along, and all the restaurants and shops you could wish for, Daytona also makes a great combination with Orlando, less than an hour's drive away.

St. Augustine
Forty miles north of Daytona lies the enchanting town of St. Augustine, whose founding by the Spanish in 1565 makes it the oldest colonial settlement in the entire USA. It's just two hours' drive from Orlando, and offers beaches to compete with anywhere else in the state, but what makes St. Augustine stand out is its historic downtown. It's packed with grand buildings, charming alleyways, and well-preserved monuments such as the 17th-century fortress of Castillo de San Marcos.
