Miami, United States
When starting your epic Florida road trip, I recommend flying into the Miami
International Airport (MIA). This airport welcomes many flights from major
cities all around the U.S., as well as from Canada, Latin America, the
Caribbean, and Europe. Or, if you’re looking to extend your road trip, you can
drive to Miami from where you live. Don’t forget to check out my road trip

Tampa, United States
Regardless of where your interests lie, Tampa has something for you to enjoy! As
a matter of fact, Tampa has so many things to do that I’ve allotted a full two
days for you to explore this Gulf Coast city. With 361 days of sunshine every
year, one of the most popular things to do in Tampa is to go to the beach. A few
of the best beaches in the area include Clearwater Beach, Caladesi Island State
Park, and Treasure Island Beach.

Orlando, United States
There are several hidden gems in Orlando and it’s one of the most visited cities
in Florida, which means that there are loads of things to do and explore.. You
can listen to the Singing Tower at Bok Tower Gardens, stroll through the
gorgeous flowers at Harry P. Leu Gardens, say hello to the animals at Lake
Apopka Wildlife Drive, and take a walk around Lake Eola. But by far the most
popular thing to do in Orlando is to visit Walt Disney World, also known as the
happiest place on Earth.

Daytona Beach, United States
As you drive from Kennedy Space Center to your next stop, St. Augustine, you’ll
pass the famous town of Daytona Beach. If you like, you can make a stop to peek
at the famous Daytona Beach, stop at the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse &
Museum, or watch a race at the Daytona International Speedway. Then, once you
spend a couple of hours in Daytona Beach, you can make your way to the adorable
town of St. Augustine. This little town was colonized by Spanish explorers in
1565 – a full 200 years before the United States was established! In other
words, St. Augustine is packed with some amazing history.

Ginnie Spring, United States
With Florida’s sunny beaches and exciting theme parks, many people don’t realize
that the state is packed with beautiful natural springs. There are actually over
700 springs in Florida, and Ginnie Springs is well-known as one of the best!
There are a few different aspects that set Ginnie Springs apart from the other
springs in Florida. First of all, the seven springs that constitute Ginnie
Springs have the clearest waters found in any of the state’s natural springs.
Second, these seven springs are filled with loads of underwater limestone caves,
which are perfect for divers to explore.

Destin, United States
Since the panhandle of Florida is so far from the main tourist cities of Orlando
and Miami, it is one of the most overlooked areas in the state. In other words,
it’s the perfect place to visit during the final two days of your fourteen-day
Florida road trip. If you only have a couple of days in the panhandle, you
should definitely spend it in the beautiful town of Destin. The most popular
thing to do in Destin is going to one of the stunning beaches, including
Henderson Beach State Park and the Shores at Crystal Beach Park. These beaches
are actually so gorgeous that they draw in visitors from neighboring states,
including Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.
