The Central Region
Although Central Florida is known for it’s bi-coastal resort destinations and the most popular theme park in the world, the drive from the north takes you to the horse country and through towns such as Ocala, Gainesville, Starke, and Silver Springs. Though mostly visited for its thoroughbred horse breeding expertise, the area is home to many natural springs that delight tourists in the warm summer months. The west coast of Central Florida is home to Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Treasure Island. A haven for those who love sunshine and excellent seafood dining, this region of Florida is a string of year-round resort destinations. With the most recorded days of sunshine on record, many visitors from the North stay all winter long. Traveling across to the east coast takes you to some of the best-known beaches in Florida. Names like Daytona Beach, Cape Canaveral, Ormond Beach, and Cocoa Beach draw the crowds for Spring Break and summer vacations. This area is home to not only the Daytona 500 Speedway but also to the Kennedy Space center. A shoreline destination that offers much more than sand, this area has been a favorite since the days of the Rockefellers. |
