Looking for an outdoor adventure?
Florida's Panhandle is known for its beautiful beaches, outdoor adventure, and family fun. Water sports abound in Pensacola, including sailing, jet skiing, and world-class diving on shipwrecks dating back to the 1940s. Camp and bike along the Gulf Islands National Seashore, or hike, kayak, and stand-up paddleboard around Big Lagoon State Park. Thrill seekers can also watch the U.S. Navy Blue Angels practice from the shores of Fort Pickens. After working up a sweat, stroll America's First Settlement Trail in historic downtown Pensacola and sample fresh seafood at one of the many local restaurants.
A unique destination for a laid-back beach vacation
The Bradenton area and the Gulf Islands are known for their beautiful white sand beaches and turquoise waters. Soak up the sun, swim in the sea with the kids, and look for seashells. End your day with a sunset boat cruise to spot wild dolphins. Off the beach, take the kids to visit rescued manatees at the Bishop Museum of Science and Nature or visit the planetarium, which features interactive and educational exhibits. The Bradenton area also offers a diverse urban arts scene and delicious cuisine.
“One of my favorite vacations was when I rented a large beach house for my entire family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, and children. The Bradenton area offers just that through Prime Vacations' vacation rentals. ,” Dimon said. From modern and sophisticated spaces to cozy and quaint villas and cottage houses, there's nothing like coming together to enjoy the sugar-white sands and picturesque waters of the Gulf.
Young children who want to go outside the beach
Theme parks are always very popular with children. Central Florida also has parks with thrill rides and water parks like Peppa Pig Theme Park and Legoland Florida. For older kids, Central Florida also has a ranch called Westgate River Ranch, located just south of Orlando in Polk County. You can also go glamping, horseback riding, airboating, visit a rodeo, or play at the Cowboy Adventure Park. For a change of pace, soak up the beautiful garden scenery at Bock Tower Gardens on Lake Wales. And for foodie families, Polk County is considered the “Barbecue Capital of Florida,” with more than 20 locally owned and operated restaurants (some of which have been around for more than 60 years). There is also a restaurant!).
