North Floridian Hospitality
Interested in taking a trip to Florida? Consider North Florida
for the next vacation destination. Although most of Florida's
most famous attractions are in the south, the northern part of
the state, extending from Pensacola to Jacksonville, offers
travelers plenty of what they expect from Florida with a twist
of Southern Charm.
The area surrounding the bustling metropolis and unofficial
capital of South Georgia of Jacksonville is full of fun
activities and sights for the whole family. Amelia Island, home
to the Ritz Carlton and the Bausch & Lomb ATP tournament, is a
resort community set within beautiful natural beauty. Between
hundred year-old live oaks, the marshes of the Intracoastal
Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean is a nature-lovers paradise, a
tennis players dream, and the perfect place to get pampered.
Travel south to Ponte Vedra Beach, home of the Tournament
Players Championship at Sawgrass. Golf lovers will find a
plethora of the most prestigious and world-renowned golf courses
while the family will enjoy its beautiful beaches and tranquil
lifestyle. Following the coastline will take visitors to St.
Augustine, the nations oldest city, and home to great shopping
and beaches. Take a stroll down St. George Street for old city
charm and shopping and stop for a bite to eat at Opus 39, 95
Cordova St, Fiddlers Green, or Saltwater Cowboys, all St.
Augustine favorites. Jacksonville itself is home to great
attractions, including Alltel Stadium, home to the Jacksonville
Jaguars professional football team, the Florida Theatre where
you can see concerts, plays, and shows year round, and the
beautiful St. John's River.
Traveling west on 1-70 takes you through Florida's plantation
region and Tallahassee, the state capital. This is not the home
of palm trees and famous beaches, but antique live oaks,
sprawling plantation homes, and freshwater springs. With beaches
within a 30-minute drive and plenty of lakes, there are plenty
of areas to play and with two state universities in town there
is plenty of arts and cultural events to enjoy.
This area of
Florida is so different from the rest, yet many visitors to the
state are not aware of all that the area has to offer.
Preservation of the past and respect for its natural beauty is
what keeps the Tallahassee area ready for more generations to
enjoy.
The Florida Panhandle is situated between the southern borders
of Georgia and Alabama and the Gulf of Mexico, making it
culturally and historically more similar to the Deep South than
the rest of the state. The Gulf Coast beaches, known as the
Redneck Riviera, are renowned for white sand beaches and warm
waters. The emerald color water extends from Pensacola Bay to
Panama City, including beaches such as Gulf Breeze, Fort Walton
Beach, Destin, Seaside, Perdido Key, Navarre, Sandestin, Grayton
Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, and Seagrove. Deep-sea fishing is the
activity of choice with Destin known as the "World's Luckiest
Fishing Village"; of course, eating the catch of the day may be
more popular. There are seafood and oyster houses on every
corner catering to families, couples, or large parties. Seaside,
made famous by the movie "The Truman Show", is known for its
quaint pastel-colored homes and is the perfect place for a
family summer vacation. Panama City is the Spring Break capitol
and was named "The Best Beach in America" by Conde Nast Traveler
Magazine. Enjoy great beachfront restaurants and exiting
nightclubs at night while basking in the sun during the day.
Families will love both its warm temperatures and warm
personalities of the locals. Gorgeous beaches, natural
beauty, world-class golf and tennis, southern hospitality,
superb vacation
rentals, and warm Florida sunshine make North Florida the
perfect spot for any vacation.
