Discount Florida Hotels, Vacations, Resorts and Vacation Packages
Florida is one of the most popular tourists destinations in the world, with visitors heading to "The Sunshine State" in search of fun, sun and thrills. Walt Disney World parks, Universal Studios parks, Sea World, and Busch Gardens are just a few of the man-made attractions for which the State is famed. Orlando is the face of Florida that most people recognize, with its enormous number of theme parks, movie studios, water parks and entertainment facilities.
But there is more to Florida than Mickey Mouse and white-knuckle rides. Florida is divided into eight geographical regions: Northwest; North Central; Northeast; Central West; Central; Central East; Southwest; and Southeast Florida and the Keys. Situated on the southeastern tip, Miami has long been a haunt of the rich and famous, and star-spotting is a popular pastime here. Palm Beach scores equally highly in the glamour stakes. Fort Lauderdale is a popular spot for families, offering a wide assortment of sports and recreational activities. To the south, the Florida Keys offers a tropical climate, beautiful beaches and clear blue waters.
The capital of Florida, Tallahassee, is geographically closer to Atlanta than Miami and is strictly Southern in tone. Today, it is often described as 'The Other Florida' with its rolling hills, oak forests, cool climate and distinctly Southern feel.
Tampa and St. Petersburg are the main cities in the Central West region. Sarasota is the cultural capital of the region. The southwestern region is home to Naples, a popular seaside retreat.
In the northeastern corner of Florida stands Jacksonville, named after General Andrew Jackson. Nearby St. Augustine is known as "America's Oldest City" and is home to more than 60 historic sites. Daytona is located in the slender Central East region. The beach is the city's main attraction, with a 510m (1700ft) boardwalk brimming with amusements, rides and snack bars. Also don't forget the world-famous Daytona Speedway attraction where cars reach speeds unthinkable to man!

From the coral reefs of the Keys to the cypress swamps of the Panhandle, Florida's diverse habitats are home to an incredible cavalcade of critters. Aptly named "The Sunshine State," Florida can offer anything anyone seeks in a holiday, whether it be fine wining and dining, learning about space exploration, discovering endangered wildlife, riding a roller coaster or bronzing on one of its famous beaches.
