10 Best Weekend Getaways in Florida

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

Sandy, sweeping beaches. Old, haunted cities. Lots & lots of seafood. Florida is nicknamed the Sunshine State, with an average of 237 sunny days a year.

It’s truly the land of a million sandy beaches, theme parks, and a whole lot of things to do. And it’s one of the best places for a mini-vacation with so many truly unique weekend getaways in Florida!

ORLANDO

The Scenic Boat Tour of Winter Park Florida is definitely one of the coolest things you can do in Orlando. You’ll see ostentatious houses and traverse tiny canals!

SANIBEL ISLAND

Some of the rarest shells in the world are found on Sanibel Island, like the famous Junonia, and there is even a name for people bending over to pick up shells: the “Sanibel Stoop”.

ST. PETERSBURG

St. Petersburg — or St. Pete, for short — has a beach for every occasion. With top-rated beaches stretching 35 miles along the Gulf of Mexico, you can visit a different world-class beach every day.

KEY WEST

Key West, Florida may be one of the most unique places in America: roosters roam the streets, drag queens rule the nightlife, and Cuba’s close proximity colors its history.

ST. AUGUSTINE

It’s a city full of beautiful Spanish colonial architecture, gorgeous natural parks, and historical attractions. Get ready to eat classic Florida fare, lay on the beach, relax in nature, and get the heebie-jeebies in this historic and haunted city.
