The state of Florida is a great place to consider for your Spring Break getaway. The climate provides the perfect break from the harsh winter conditions of the northern United States. Spring break provides a fabulous time to get away for college students and families. Here are 5 great Florida places to escape to on your spring break.
1) Orlando
Located in the middle of the state, Orlando offers numerous theme parks and tourist attractions. The beaches are only about 45-60 minutes away so you can enjoy a good time at a theme park one day and take a drive to the beach the next. Some of the theme parks you might enjoy include Disney World, Wet and Wild, Universal, Sea World, MGM Studios and Epcot. This is a great place to visit with your family.
2) Daytona Beach
You will find 23 miles of beach to enjoy with friends and/or family. There are plenty of places to party, drink and have a great time. There is plenty to do in Daytona Beach and Orlando is only about 45 minutes away. This is a nice place to visit on the Atlantic ocean.

With Tampa so close you have all of the amenities of a large city within only a few minutes.
