Visiting Florida means visiting Miami Beach known for its surf waves and palm beaches. Some of the best known beaches are on the East side of the state. On this side are the known Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Daytona Beach. Daytona is for those people who don’t like crowds, Fort Lauderdale is a great community for families, but Miami Beach cant be described with words. 

The state of Florida is one of the greatest destination for travelers from and around the United States of America. It is located between the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Straits of Florida. There is no other state that shares the borders with the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The climate in the state is perfect for visiting Florida in each part of the year. In the southern parts the climate is tropical and moving to the north it is subtropical. 

Miami

This tourist spot has a mild climate all year round, which is the reason why this place is visited during all seasons. Miami offers the best golf courts, tennis courts and sporting facilities and is ranked the nation’s #1 Healthiest City by Natural Health Magazine in 2002. This city is great for all people from fishermen to business people because this is a great place for every budget. 

Miami is a big city so planning in advance about what to visit when coming to Florida is essential. The streets are often crowded and there is so much to be seen. Before coming to Miami it is recommended that people write down and plan about what is more important to be visited in Florida and avoid things that don’t interest them especially if time is limited. 

Most people visit Florida for the beaches and the sea, and it is recommended that visitors experience this by jet skiing in Biscayne Bay or sailing Miami Harbor. On every beach there are lessons for everything you ever wanted to experience, such as water skiing, parasailing lessons, jetski, windsurfing and other sports. Many hotels offer free classes and activities so before going to another place check with the hotel to see if these activities are part of the hotel deal. 

Since the driving in the city is not hard people often come with cars. If you want to experience the wilderness, kayaking is the sport for you. In some of the trips organized here, you will be amazed, you will kayak out to various underwater preserves and wreck sites off the Key and snorkel off to explore the diverse marine life that populates the dense sea grass beds, sand flats and wreckage. But the most amazing thing about Florida-you will be able to swim with the beautiful dolphins. 

Water sports are what Florida beaches are known for. Biscayne Bay off Rickenbacker Causeway is known for the windsurfing due to the perfect weather with just the right amount of wind that allows even beginners to start windsurfing. If you are new and want a professional lesson, visit Key Biscayne and spots like Hobie Beach and get two hour lesson for about $70. Renting your own boat is the most amazing experience for most people since they can see the city’s skylines and sailboats of all kinds, jet skiers, or just people fishing from the boats. Virginia Key on the way to Key Biscayne offers the biggest rental collection.
