Anyone recommend an area in Florida that has beaches but has a
coupel of theme parks close by (i.e somewhere you can go in a day and back) Are these many large theme parks around the NY area? (i am guessing there are no beaches?) Seems like everyones been to NY and Florida and have opinions so I'll just add mine. First, there are some great beaches near nyc. I used to go to Jones beach and Robert Moses park. I mis-spent alot of my youth in Florida. Miami beach is great, but can be fairly expensive for hotels and nightlife. No big amusement parks nearby. Orlando is fun for familys and adults looking for a resort-type experience. Plenty of theme parks including all of Disney world but the beach isn't very close. I would recommend Clearwater Beach. Perfect place to party in the sun. Hotels range from pricey condos on the beach to cheap dives a few blocks away and everything in between. Bush Gardens theme park is only 30-40 minutes away but you'll need a car to get there. You might also want to look into Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Nice beaches, tons of young people, countless bars and clubs open late, cheap places to stay and arcades and amusement parks right on the beach. |

If you really want one place to go for good rides,
then go to Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio: www.cedarpoint.com Pan Many roller coaster enthusiasts feel that Cedar Point has the best collection of coasters in the U.S. But unfortunately it's a long drive from New York (I'd guess around 10 hours).

You're not very old are you? Most of Coney island's tradition was torn down by the 1950s. I was there in 1974 and I thought it was exceedingly awesome. Although the fun house did smell a little like pee. LOL. I didn't ride any rides (not my thing, sorry), but I loved just walking around and looking at the kitchy buildings and just enjoying the place. I also loved it that you could actually buy a BEER there, which most theme parks do not offer. Em ----- When in trouble or in doubt, Run in circles, scream and shout. |
