As the city with the most consecutive days of sunshine in the United States, St. Petersburg is a perfect place to enjoy some fun under the sun! The most popular destination in the city is St. Pete's Beach, where soft sand meets the warm Gulf of Mexico. This beach is also the home to some of the best seafood stalls in town, so be sure to bring an empty stomach. If you are interested in art, the local Dalí Museum offers a vast and expansive collection of artworks by the famous surrealist. For those interested in plays and other theatrical pieces, The Mahaffey Theater, with its unique architecture, will be a great destination to visit.
When it comes to food, St. Petersburg certainly does not disappoint. If it is seafood that you are craving, check out 400 Beach Seafood and Tap House, which offers fresh seafood dishes such as oysters, shrimps, and calamari. Another top-tier choice is The Moon Under Water, which has become a local favorite.
St. Petersburg is served by intercity bus service, and the nearest Amtrak train service is across the bay in Tampa. From St. Petersburg, you can travel to other top Florida destinations, including Orlando, Ocala, and Fort Myers. When it's time to fly out, the Pete – Clearwater International Airport offers frequent flights from a conveniently central location between St. Petersburg and Clearwater.
Orlando
Orlando is the Theme Park Capital of the World, thanks to the high density of thrilling parks like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, LEGOLAND, Gatorland and more. It's no wonder we rated Orlando the #1 travel destination for families. Family vacation or not, if the highlight of your trip is picking out a wand at Ollivanders in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter or finally meeting Elsa in the Magic Kingdom, you know we won't judge.
Winter Park and Thornton Park – not more theme parks, we promise – are trendy neighborhoods where you can experience some of Orlando's world-class shopping, dining, and craft beer. You can also immerse yourself in some of Florida's unique wildlife at Orlando Wetlands Park, or the more central Lake Eola Park downtown. Orlando enjoys an average of 233 days of sunshine a year, so even though it's one of the cheapest cities to visit over Spring Break, you'll soak up that sweet, sweet sun almost any time of year.
Craving the ocean? Head a few hours outside Orlando for some of Florida's gorgeous beaches like New Smyrna Beach, Cocoa Beach, and the Canaveral National Seashore. Two large airports, as well as many bus and train companies with service in the area, mean that traveling from Orlando to other sunny Florida destinations and beyond is a breeze.
