Affordable Vacations for Floridians

Collaborative post

Floridians looking for affordable vacations are in luck – there are simply loads of great destinations both close to home and a little further afield that don’t have to break the bank! The Sunshine State is huge and packed with amazing experiences and gorgeous sights and attractions, as well as being conveniently located to allow Floridians to find paradise vacation spots without having to fly around the world. These are some of the best affordable vacation options for Floridians.

Road trip

There’s nothing quite like a proper all-American road trip. The thrill and excitement of the open road, the feeling of freedom and adventure, and the knowledge that around every corner could be something amazing to discover – it is a seriously awesome choice for a vacation. It is also a great way to save money on expensive flights and gives you the flexibility to set your own budget.

Florida itself is brilliant for a road trip, with highways crisscrossing the length and breadth of the state and running through some pretty picturesque scenery. Florida’s immense variety is also a great backdrop to a road trip, and everything from the landscapes to the culture changes significantly as you go from the Panhandle to the Florida Keys.

Florida also is a great starting point for exciting road trips further afield. You could head up the East Coast and discover amazing cities like Savannah, Charleston, even as far as Philadelphia and New York! Or head west, through the blues-soaked swamps of Louisiana and the baked deserts of Texas and New Mexico, with the sunny shores of California as a final destination!

If you’re looking to travel in luxury you could consider hiring a party bus like the ones limofind offer https://www.limofind.com/fl/hialeah-party-bus-rental/

Cheap beaches

Florida is blessed with gorgeous beaches, and while the luxury resorts in places like Miami might not be easy on the wallet, there are loads of awesome beach destinations that fly a little further under the radar and are much more affordable as a result. 

Clearwater Beach near Tampa, New Smyrna just south of Jacksonville, and Panama City Beach in the Panhandle are all beautiful stretches of sand that offer great value for money when it comes to accommodation, eating out, and nearby attractions and activities. You can even hit up the Keys on a budget if you steer clear of Key West, and head to Marathon instead, where there are often discounts to be found on the tourist development council’s website.

Paradise on a budget

While Florida itself is pretty special, and offers some amazing vacation spots, one of its most appealing qualities is how close it is to some of the most stunning destinations in the world.

It is incredibly simple (and surprisingly cheap) to fly off on a genuinely world-class vacation from Florida, whether you want to explore the beautiful western Caribbean, or discover the ancient Mayan civilization and picture-perfect beaches of the Riviera Maya in Mexico.

There are plenty of incredibly affordable corners of the Caribbean, particularly on the less popular islands, and the cost of food and hotels in Mexico will make your budget stretch a long way!

There are a great many beautiful vacation spots that are easily accessible from Florida, and won’t break the bank. Check out our suggestions above, then get packing for an affordable and amazing vacation right away!
