With more than 2,900 hours of warm sun every year, Florida is rightly proud of its nickname ‘The Sunshine State.’ This pretty peninsula on the east coast of the USA is perfect for those in a theme-park state of mind, but worthy of a mention are the stunning beaches of the Gulf Coast, benefiting from the clear, warm blue waters and white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Make a date with Disney for family-focused fun with six theme parks full of familiar characters to meet and greet. The spectacular narrated night-time fireworks show with Tinkerbell taking centre stage has to be seen to be believed. And for pure adrenaline, seek out the rides at nearby Universal Studios where favourite movies are brought to life with an amazing array of world-class rollercoasters, stunning street scenes and exhilarating rides. Be sure to take time out to enjoy the simple beauty of America’s sunshine state out at the coast. A tranquil evening sitting on the warm, white sand watching the sun set over the ocean is a great way to wind down after a busy day. Take a sea-life safari by joining a chartered trip and seeing what you can spot under the ocean. Many trips provide snorkelling gear and encourage visitors to carefully seek and retrieve marine life for ‘show and tell’ back on the boat.
