Florida has some of the nicest beaches in the world. Several of these beaches routinely receive awards by various rating organizations. The waters are generally warm compared to the the rest of the US. Surf tends to be higher on the Atlantic coast with relatively little surf on the Gulf coast. Surf temperature is also warmer on the Gulf coast throughout the year. Sand consistency in the northwest along Pensacola, and Panama City Beaches is fine and very white. Clearwater Beach also shares this same fine and very white texture. Beaches along the Atlantic tend to shade towards light beige with a somewhat coarser texture. Daytona Beach is unique with its hard packed sand suitable for driving motor vehicles.

What makes the Walt Disney World theme park so interesting is not so much the park itself, with many extensions of the original plans of Disneyland and its incredible popularity as a destination spot, but all the amazing aspects of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the government set up by Disney (which continues to this day) that was originally intended to govern EPCOT (the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) and give it the ability to live out Disney's dream of a perfect society. |

Top 5 spots in Consumer Reports |
|
Orlando theme parks took the top 5 spots in Consumer Reports recent ranking of national theme parks. Epcot was named the top park in the country, followed by Disney-MGM Studios, Magic Kingdom, SeaWorld, and Islands of Adventure. Animal Kingdom finished seventh, while Universal Studios Florida was ranked No. 11. The parks also have more to crow about than rankings. After a couple of years in the doldrums, attendance levels are on the rise again, thanks in part to improvements in the economy. Parks are also enticing visitors to return by added perks, offering special deals, and adding wild and wonderfully new attractions. Here are the 2003 attendance estimates (and their national rankings) for the 7 major parks according to Amusement Business magazine: No. 1: Magic Kingdom, 14 million No. 2: Epcot, 8.6 million No. 3: Disney-MGM Studios, 7.9 million No. 4: Disney's Animal Kingdom, 7.3 million No. 5: Universal Studios Florida, 6.9 million No. 6: Islands of Adventure, 6.0 million No. 7: Sea World Orlando, 5.2 million |
