Kathleen & I have decided that next year(2004) would be good to visit Florida. We have a free week from a timeshare trade we need to use. We just aren't sure where the best area to go is for lounging & just being a tourist, seeing the sites, history etc... and what time of year. (don't wanna go when it's too friggin HOT)Heard of one area in the St. Petersburg/ Tampa area. Don't know which side is best, East or West beaches. What say y'all that live there or the ones that have visited? Gonna be stayin at a resort (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Sanibel/Captiva on the Gulf side. Also Napes, FL and Venice, FL. In Venice you can snorkel off the beach and find fossilized sharks teeth (even really big ones) or dig through the shells on the beach and find them.
Also the Panhandle is really pretty around San Destin (West of Panama City) Stay away from the Miami, Ft Lauderdale. West Palm area. too crowded. Daytona is crowded as is New Smyrna Beach and the Canaveral areas (Space Coast). The nice part about Florida is that you can drive across the State in a couple of hours. So you could stay in the Tampa/St. Pete area and visit the Space Center after a 3 hour drive. |
