Florida: Why Travel Here? By Jeffrey Kamikow

Jeffrey Kamikow sharing his views about why we should travel Florida

 There are many reasons why every year thousands of tourists visit Florida with the hopes of making lifelong memories. While some may flock to Disney World or Universal to experience the magic these places have to offer, others come here seeking an escape from plugged-in civilization. A day on the beach, soaking up the sun with a cold drink in hand. Getting in that long overdue tanning session while the cool ocean breeze washes over you, with the laughter of happy beach goers resonating in the background. Whether you’re here for the rides or the relaxation, Florida is a place of wonders for all ages and all walks of life. Here are a few things you should be sure to check out to make the best of your stay.

Snorkelling in the Keys

Just off the southern coast of the state lie the Florida Keys, a small chain of islands nestled in the Carribean sea, sure to be the ideal destination for anybody seeking out a subtropical paradise of their own. Surrounded by warm, pristine ocean waters full of colorful, vibrant marine life, it’s no wonder why these islands are such a popular destination for avid divers to get a glimpse of another world beneath the tide.

Among the common marine life that frequents the waters of the Florida Keys are all kinds of captivating, beautiful fish, including the parrot fish and the mahi mahi. Other animals that frequent this chain of islands include dolphins, sea turtles, manatees, and the infamous barracuda, which poses little threat to visitors if left alone. Birdwatchers will also feel at home in the Keys, with birds such as osprey, flamingoes, and the black skimmer all sighted here.

Cycling in the Everglades

The Everglades is one of the largest subtropical wetlands in the entire world, so taking your bike there may not be at the top of your bucket list. Surprisingly enough however, Shark Valley is situated right in the heart of this national park and is the perfect place to get a few miles in on your bicycle!

Here, tourists can enjoy a nice cruise on their bike while they get a firsthand look at some of the stunning wildlife that resides in the Everglades. Everything from alligators, turtles, snakes, and birds can be sighted here. Just be sure to stick to the tarmac path and keep your eyes peeled, as there are no fences or rails to keep these animals off the trail!

Dirt Bikes in Daytona

If you love racing, there’s no better place to travel to in Florida than Daytona Beach, home to race tracks, dirt biking, and motorcycle rallies. Every year, people travel from all corners of the country to view some of the most exhilarating, adrenaline fueled races you can find anywhere. Even folks who don’t typically enjoy these kinds of events can get a real kick out of watching some of the best riders and racers in the world zoom around the tracks and get some massive air over dirt jumps.

On top of this, every march approximately five hundred thousand people from across the nation come to Daytona Beach to partake in the annual Bike Week , one of the largest gatherings of motorcycle enthusiasts anywhere! Come meet bikers from all over the United States and then head inside Daytona Speedway to watch a race.

Kayaking in Naples

A firsthand look at the wildlife in the Florida wetlands while gliding down a gently moving river is something every visitor to the Sunshine State should experience. Luckily enough for you, there are plenty of conservation areas that offer this unique and enjoyable activity to tourists. Grab a partner and a paddle and get an opportunity to view someone of a kind critters, including the gentle kelp grazing manatee or the illusive American crocodile.

Southern Florida is home to a large concentration of mangrove swamps that harbour all sorts of exotic critters. From tiny mangrove dwelling crabs, to semi aquatic pit vipers, such as the cottonmouth. Taking a kayak out and getting an in depth look at the flora and fauna of Southern Florida’s wetlands is an experience you shouldn’t pass up!

Partying on Miami Beach

Maybe you're in search of a more traditional Florida getaway. Cold drink in hand, getting your tan on, all while surrounded by hundreds of enthusiastic beachgoers. It’s no question why so many people make the same trip every single year. Miami Beach is the beachgoer’s paradise. From the calm, crystal-blue waves to gently swaying palm trees, along with plenty of nightclubs and bars, this is truly the place to be if you’re looking for the ultimate Florida vacation experience.

Tourists will definitely not want to miss out on some of the events that happen annually here. Everything from music festivals, art exhibits, and street parties all take place. See some of the most unique and intricate art pieces during Art Deco week in June - perfectly situated, since Miami is famous for its Art Deco architecture. After, head to an all-night rooftop party at La Sombra!

Whether you’re a hard partier, a wildlife enthusiast, an adrenaline junkie, or just looking for the perfect week long getaway for the family, Florida has all the activities you could ever dream of and more. There is truly something for everybody in this state and visitors will never run out of places to visit for unique, one of a kind experiences you can’t find anywhere else. The only challenge you’ll have is deciding where to head first!
