Be Prepared For Florida With These Top Tips

1. Spending At Least A Week

Florida is diverse, immensely diverse. One of the biggest mistakes you could make on any Florida visit is only experiencing one geographical facet of it. Rent a car or take a high-speed train to dabble in it all. There are historic towns too – worthy of multiday stays.

2. Considering A Spring Or Fall Trip

November to March is the peak “snowbird season”, when hotels, restaurants and attractions statewide remain the busiest. On the contrary, June through August are among the hottest. To avoid the crowds and heat, consider a April-May or September-October adventure.

3. Avoiding The Burn

Sure, carefully soaking up some rays in the Sunshine State is expected. But a sunburn always ruins the fun. Ensure you pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a sun hat and sun-protective attire. Additionally, an umbrella can’t hurt as Florida is prone to quick-moving thunderstorms.

4. Keeping Track Of Hurricane Activity

The Atlantic hurricane season runs from the beginning of June through the end of November. Since Florida is often ground zero for hurricane activity, constantly monitor the National Hurricane Centre’s latest forecasts before and during your visit to stay better prepared.

5. Noting Which Florida Beaches Ban Alcohol

The bulk of Florida beaches prohibit alcohol. If unclear, check out the government website of the city you are staying in for applicable laws. Otherwise, popular spots that allow alcohol include Madeira Beach in the St Petersburg area and Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota.
