If your idea of a perfect vacation is relaxing on a beautiful beach, then you’ll have a blast in St. Pete/Clearwater. This seaside haven holds the record for the most consecutive days of sunshine (768 days to be precise!) and boasts beautiful beaches including Clearwater Beach, one of Florida’s best shores aptly named for its exceptionally clear waters. The white-sand shores of Clearwater Beach provide an unbeatable setting for sunbathing or building towering sandcastles. After a day of fun in the sun, head over to the famous Pier 60 and enjoy exceptional sunset views.
Where to stay: Located just a short drive from Clearwater Beach, Holiday Inn and Suites Harbourside features an array of family-friendly activities. You can play a fun game of mini-putt, unwind in a pristine pool surrounded by palm trees or dine at a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the water. In the evening, retire to beautifully-appointed suites complete with a fully equipped kitchen and incredible ocean views.
With popular attractions and a beautiful shoreline, Daytona Beach offers the perfect blend of sun and fun. If you feel the need for speed, you can drive along the Daytona Beach’s iconic shores or visit the Daytona International Speedway, the renowned site of NASCAR’s Daytona 500. If you want to take your getaway to new heights, climb up to the top of the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse and take in exceptional panoramic views of the coast.
