Hi,
Have gone to Florida a few times now so I'm looking for different things a family can do outside of the parks. Last year we did the springs such as Waikivia and enjoyed them a great deal. Chris |

Chris Have you done the Florida Keys? Does your family enjoy snorkeling? You might want to visit Key Largo and go snorkeling in John Pennekamp Coral Reef Park. 80% of the attraction is under the sea. It's really quite beautiful. How about renting a house boat and cruising the Florida Bay and Gulf. You can rent them with or without crew. With crew you have a combination captain, nature guide, fishing guide and cook. What about the west coast? Have you done Sanibel and Captiva islands? They are in the Gulf and a shell collector's dream come true. There are other activities as well. I am assuming by parks you meant the theme parks in Orlando and Tampa. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!"

Last year we did the springs such as Waikivia and enjoyed them a great deal. The Keys, Miami, the Kennedy Space Center, Everglades tours. There are a lot of options. Just google for "Florida tourism" and I am sure you'll find lots of good information. |

rent a condo on the beach at Indian rocks beach and chill out there for
a week (near st petersburg). take a ferry from honeymoon island to caladesi island state park and take a hike or visit the nice beach there (near clearwater beach). chris foreman wrote: Hi, Have gone to Florida a few times now so I'm looking for different things a family can do outside of the parks.

Last year we did the springs such as Waikivia and enjoyed them a great deal. [snip] Alot of folks would suggest the beaches next. St. Petersburg/Clearwater would be good. Naples is also popular. You could do Miami but I don't tend to think of that as attractive to the whole family. Beyond that you also have the Keys, Key West, Marathon, Key Largo, Bahia Honda, all are popular. There is also the East Central Coast which basically is from about Cocoa Beach to St. Augustine. It includes Daytona and the Kennedy Space center. Everything is within an hour or so of each other although I'd probably pick to stay in and around Cocoa. And it leaves you about an hour from the whole Disney/Universal/ Sea World area in case you just can't avoid the itch. |
