Award-winning beaches and diverse culture from coast to coast

Though not quite an island, the state of Florida is certainly a cultural and geographic world of its own. From the quaint towns emanating Southern USA charm on the state’s northern peninsula, to the cosmopolitan melting pot of coastal Miami, visitors will encounter a fantastic array of experiences in what is aptly nicknamed the Sunshine State. For this Florida road trip, you’ll be traveling from the Gulf of Mexico coast to Atlantic Ocean shores. It’s the only state in the country where you can swim in both bodies of water in a matter of hours – though you’ll want to linger for a few days to truly get your feet wet.

Kennedy Space Center

There are few places in the country that display spaceships that have actually been to space, and the Kennedy Space Center, located on Merritt Island, Florida, is one of them. You’ll get to walk among the rockets on a guided tour, and see the Space Shuttle Atlantis, a ship that first launched in 1985 and made its last journey in 2011. While you’re there, visit the moon via interactive experiences, feel what it’s like to experience a shuttle launch, and head over to the Astronaut Experience to meet a real astronaut.
