How much of Florida have you visited? About This Page:

[chezp]

I'm curious to know! We find it very hard to leave Disney, but in our travels, we have been to the Kennedy Space Centre and Vero Beach before now. We've also been to Crystal River to go swimming with the manatees and we've driven through St. Petersburg, where we saw a Cirque show, but I'm ashamed to say that's all we've really seen of Florida.

well, my folks lived in Fort myers Beach so we obviously visited there while they were still with us, (and i love the gulf coast) I have been to Cape Kennedy, Daytona, St. Petersburg, Tampa and the Keys (once), but now it's all about WDW !! my brother lives in my folks house now, but we make him come to WDW when we go!!

Well, seeings how I lived there for 3 years in the late 90s and then just moved away from having lived there another 3 years, I have been all over the state.

In the 90s, I lived in Jacksonville and we hung out quite a bit in the St. Augustine and Daytona areas as well as in Orlando . . . we also visited the Space Coast a few times. When we moved back to Florida in 2003, we lived in Pensacola so we were able to see much of the Panhandle as well as everything along I-75, as it was along our drive to Orlando.

Orlando and Cape Canaveral had really always been the furthest "south" in the state I had been though, until just before we moved to Virginia this past November when I went on a road trip with some friends and we visited, for the first time, both the Miami and Ft. Lauderdale areas AND Tampa/St. Petersburg across the state!

Sadly, I have not yet visited the FL Keys, and hope to do so someday in the future . . . but otherwise, I have seen most of the state!

The DH and I have been to Pensacola, Ft Walton Beach, Destin, Lake City, Orlando, Cape Kennedy and Disney World.

I would love to go see St Augustine. Seaside and Key West.

Well, let's see......I've visited Gainesville, Jacksonville, Ocala, Miami, St. Augustine, and Orlando. For a South Dakotan, I haven't done too bad.

[Colexis Mom]

We've been to Port Canaveral/KSC a couple of times. Ron Jon in Cocoa Beach. I've been to Tampa when I was very small, but don't remember any of it really. And I've flown into Miami. I guess I have a bunch more exploring to do

[DrDolphin]

Since I live in Florida and work on projects around the state - there are very few areas I have not been in.... Although I have not always taken the time to do the tourist things while I am in the location. short list - MIA, FLL, Key West (rest of keys too); Naples, Marco Island, Tampa, St. Pete, Orlando, Tallahassee, Daytona, Vero Beach, St. Augustine, Ft. Pierce, Pensacola..... like I said - lots of places.

[FanOfMickey]

Not much, I have been to Tampa, Gulfport and of coure Orlando.

[LizardCop]

Like Terri and Sarah, living here does have it's advantages to traveling... But then, I did all of my Junior and Senior High School days in Key West. During the summers, we would travel with my buds around the state, Miami was the "annual school shopping trip", been surfing at Jupiter Beach, visited relatives in Jacksonville... Spent one summer traveling around the central and southern part of the state visiting every city listed on the state map with a population of less than 25, and there were a lot back in '68/'69

Since graduation, I have lived in the Panhandle area (mostly Ft. Walton Beach/Niceville/Valparaiso/Shalimar/Eglin AFB area) as well as 4.5 years in Homestead/Miami. I've visited most everywhere between Tallahassee and Mobile, Alabama as well as occasional camping/fishing trips into the Everglades when I lived in Homestead.

But, after saying all that, there are still a lot of touristy things I haven't done in many of the places I have lived or visited

Guess we'll have to plan to do that stuff with the grandchildren

[magic mickey]

I have been to Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm beach. Of course I have also been to Orlando.
When my DS was small, he didn't know there were other areas in Florida except for WDW.

[karmic]

My sister lives in Naples so I have been there several times. Many years ago I went to a conference in Miami and then DH and I drove up to WDW. We also did a side trip to Cape Canaveral with the kids about 10 years ago.

It seems I spend most of my time on the west coast of Florida. I love the Tampa area as much as I love the Orlando area St. Pete Beach is one of our favorite places to stay. My Mom spends the winters in Bonita Springs(near Fort Myers) so I've been discovering this area as well. I've been to The Keys 4 times spending most of the time in Key West (doing the Duval Crawl at night )

[jimmymac]

Tampa (Busch Gardens), the Cape (multiple shuttle launches). Ft. Myers, Boca Raton, West Palm, Miami, South Beach, the Keys

[Happymommy]

St Augustine, St. Pete (during Red Tide--- ewww), Daytona, Kennedy Space Center, Miami, South Beach, Tampa, Ft. Myers, Carabella (I think I'm spelling that right)

[tndisneyfam]

We lived in Florida for over 8 years. I have not seen all, but a lot of South Florida. We lived in Miami, Tamarac, and Coral Springs. I did get to see the Keys as a child, along with visiting Fort Lauderdale,Hollywood, Davie, Bartow,Deerfield Beach, Everglades, Fort Meyers, Sanibel Island, Port St. Lucie (grandparents lived there), Jupiter,West Palm Beach,Vero Beach, the Indian River area, Fort Pierce, Clearwater, Kennedy Space Center, Lake Mary. Ocala and of course Orlando are all I can think of right now. When we visit Disney now, we have a hard time leaving Disney to explore new places too. Maybe one day.
