Planning A Trip To Florida? Here Are Five Top Things You Should Know
Florida has it all. The Sunshine State is known for its luminous golden beaches, roadside orange groves, alligators sunbathing in the Everglades, and everything in between.
With such diversity in geography and experiences, it’s easy to enjoy a multifaceted journey that you can’t get anywhere else in the United States.
To help you plan your time in Florida, while considering the quick-changing elements, here are the top five things you should know about health, safety and local etiquette.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
