    Florida

    Where can you vacation any time of year and have blue skies and warm temperatures almost every day? The beautiful sunshine state of Florida!

    If you're thinking about checking out the northern part of the state, you'll find so many things to do in Panama City Beach! Rather spend some time in historic St. Augustine and visit the St Augustine Lighthouse built in 1874? Downtown is full of shops and great restaurants!

    For loads of family fun, head to Central Florida where you can visit the theme parks. Find the best food in Epcot or visit Universal Studios Orlando.

    Looking for more of an adult vacation in Central Florida? You'll find loads of things to do in Winter Park Florida. (It is kid-friendly, too, and not far from the theme parks!)

    In Southwest Florida, you have the choice of the gorgeous Anna Maria Island Beaches, the best luxury hotel in Naples, or visiting the River District in Downtown Fort Myers.

    Finally, the southernmost part of Florida awaits! The Lighthouse Hotel Key West is your perfect home base for exploring Key West.

    For more of a stay put and chill kind of vacation, check out the beautiful Hawks Cay Resort in Duck Key.

    And if you're looking for both the beach and golf, Florida has that, too! Check out these golf resorts near the beach!
