Different locations to explore

So I have already mentioned that Florida is possible more well known for Orlando. The home of Disney world and universal studios, but there are so many great locations in Florida that are definitely worth seeing. Miami, to start with, is a vibrant and culturally diverse city. With Cuban influences this place really doe have it all. Colonial architecture an amazing beach, and fabulous bars and restaurants to enjoy. You can also find plenty of hotel rooms in Miami, Florida that will suit your needs and your budgets. Other locations to consider visiting would be Tampa, Key West, The Florida Keys, Naples and clearwater, to name a few.

More things to do

There is more to do in Florida than enjoying the endless water parks and themed roller coasters I can assure you. The first thing to consider would be the Everglades National Park. Here you can explore some of the most diverse landscape and witness some amazing wildlife. There is also the beautiful Anna Maria Island, The dry Tortugas National park full of wonderful coral reefs to explore and heading to the Southern tip where you are literally only 90 miles away from Cuba. Having said that, others do see Florida as the perfect place to head over to Cuba for a few days with a different vibe.

Amazing Real Estate

As well as it being an international tourist destination with year-round sunshine, Florida has one of the hottest real estate markets in the country, and this is only expected to grow. According to a news release from WFLA Channel 8 in Tampa, between now and April 1, 2024, the population of Florida is expected to grow by an average of 906 new residents per day. 

There are also some hot areas in Florida that these new residents will be flocking to; Naples with its luxury homes which according to Shannon’s site are found on Naples beaches and waterways and luxury golf course communities. Then there is Jacksonville, which is ranked #3 for the best cities in the US for jobs and Tallahassee which boasts comparatively low local taxes and beautiful state parks and wildlife.

Some of the best beaches in the world

Would you believe that Florida has some of the best beaches in the world? It is true, the likes of clearwater bay and South beach regularly are high on the lists of some of the best beaches around. There is also the smaller town of Fort Lauderdale, that offers a beautiful beach perfect for family strolls and watching the world go by. If beaches are your thing, then Florida has bags of potential for many holidays to come in the future.

Great weather

The weather is always going to be good in Florida, however there are more chances of rain during certain times of the year, miami has a rainy season from June through to October but offers warmth with humidity, you may find that the best times to travel would be November through to May, with decent temperatures ideal for exploring.

I hope this has given you some incentive to try out other areas in Florida.
