Orlando Golf - Daytona Beach

Anyone staying in Orlando, whether on business or much more likely, pleasure and who would like to take in a round or two of golf should consider heading over to the east coast around Daytona, also known as the Space Coast due to the famous Kennedy Space Center and nearby Cape Canaveral. Daytona is only just over one hours drive from the Orlando region and boasts a number of fantastic beaches, plenty of surfing and fishing opportunities, as well as a great range of golf courses. If you go at the right time of year, there is also the option of taking in a NASCAR race at the world famous Daytona International Speedway.

Focusing on the areas golf, there is plenty of variety and a choice of green fees to suit every budget.

Cocoa Beach Area

Famous for its beautiful beaches and fantastic surfing, Cocoa Beach also features some great golf courses starting with the Joe Lee designed Viera East Golf club. True to the Lee design approach, the course includes innovative bunkering and hazards with the aim of setting the golfer a challenge without taking the pleasure out of the game. Another option for the budget conscious is the Cocoa beach Country club, municipally owned and maintained and set in beautiful surroundings.

Daytona Beach Area

When you hear the name Daytona, the first thing people think of is car and motor cycle racing, held at Daytona International Speedway. There are also a number of good golf options in the area. Legends Course, part of LPGA International, designed by Arthur Hills, is very tough on the wayward golfer with narrow fairways lined with oak and pine trees. Definitely a course for the thinking golfer! Champions Course is a less compact course, more forgiving for the occasional stray drive and probably more suitable for anyone with a high handicap. If you like the way Jack Nicklaus sets up a course, head to Grand Haven Golf Club 30 miles north of Daytona.

Titusville Area

Close to the Kennedy Space Center, which is a must visit if you have time, take a look at the Walkabout Golf Club in Mims, which includes a bonus extra hole in the shape of Australia, the designers homeland. A budget alternative in the area is the Royal Oak Resort and Golf Club.

10 Things to do in Fort Lauderdale

Following on from our previous article on alternative towns and cities to visit while in Florida (we previously looked at Miami), we now take a look at Fort Lauderdale which is situated 24 miles from Miami on Florida’s Atlantic Coast. Fort Lauderdale hosts in excess of 10 million tourist visitors every year, attracted by the pleasant climate (which averages around 75 degrees Fahrenheit with over 3,000 hours of sunshine) as well as the wide range of activities open to tourists. Fort Lauderdale’s name derives from a series of forts built during the Second Seminole War, by Major William Lauderdale, although the city itself did not did not begin to develop until several decades after the conflict finished.

Fort Lauderdale experiences a tropical rainforest climate with a summer ‘wet season’ and a winter ‘dry season’. The ‘wet season’ runs from May through to October and is very hot and humid with average high temperatures approaching 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and just about every day will bringing afternoon rain bursts. The ‘dry season’ runs from November through to April and although warm experiences average high temperatures of around 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

Ten things to do in Fort Lauderdale, in no particular order;

Similar to the trolleys to be found in Miami, this is a great way of getting around and they will take you to just about anywhere in Fort Lauderdale for a very reasonable fare.

There are in effect, four areas of Fort Lauderdale to head to if you want to experience the nightlife. These are Los Olas Boulevard, The Beach, The River Front and The New Hard Rock Seminole Hotel. The Beach tends to cater for a younger crowd and can get quite lively, whereas Los Olas Boulevard attracts an older clientele and is considerably more relaxed.

Florida Villas - Beaches – The West Coast

This is the third in a series of articles looking at the Floridian beaches. This article will focus on the beaches on the West Coast.

Although Florida in general is a popular retirement and wintering location for the older generation, Tampa is a rapidly expanding city whose younger citizens are keen to enjoy the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, with its glorious white sand beaches.

Tampa

Covering an area from Clearwater along the coast to Sarasota, are some of these beautiful beaches, examples being Longboat Key, Caladesi Island State Park, Indian Shores, Clearwater Beach and St Pete Beach, to name but a few.

Southwest Gulf Coast

Further down the coast are the quiet towns of Captiva Islands and Sanibel, with a nature reserve and ample opportunity for peace and quiet. We then encounter Fort Myers beach, located on Estero Island, which is an engaging mix of frantic and peaceful, the southern part of the island providing more of the latter. Carrying on down, we arrive at Naples, a magnet for those aforementioned pensioners, whose money can buy into the affluent lifestyle. South of Naples we come to Marco Island, a southern enclave of people originally from the American north-east.

Florida Keys

Compared to the rest of Florida, The Keys is somewhat lacking in great beaches, partly explained by the battering the area receives from the elements, in particular hurricanes. However, there are a few including Sombrero Beach and Bahia Honda State Park.

This article, along with its two predecessors has given a brief overview of the beaches to be found on the well over 1000 miles of Florida coastline. There is a beach to suit just about everyone and a little bit of detailed research should help you to identify yours. Just because the main reason you came to Florida was to visit Disney and the related attractions, it is well worth taking a day or two out to drive down to a beach or two.
