If you're planning an upcoming island holiday, but
want to visit somewhere just a small different, it's easy to find Florida
beaches that are off the beaten path. Finding a unique spot to spend a holiday
means that crowds will be smaller and you'll get to visit a place you'd never
know existed otherwise. Some great places to visit are the islands of Anna
Maria, Sanibel, Captiva and Amelia.
Enjoying An Anna Maria holiday
The island is located just 40 miles south of Tampa &
the island is surrounded by Tampa Bay. You can access your Anna Maria holiday
via the Cortez or Manatee bridges or you can even take a cruise to start your
visit.
An Anna Maria vacation is just right for relaxing on
the beach. If you visit May through October, though, Florida beaches are filled
with ocean turtles coming to the beach to lay their eggs. If you are lucky
enough to catch a glimpse of a nesting ocean turtle, leave it alone. Bright
lights, including the flash from a camera can scare the turtle, endangering the
lives of the baby ocean turtles. If you're staying in an Anna Maria holiday
rental right off the beach, try to turn off outside lights at night because the
lights can misguide the turtles, endangering the adult turtle & her eggs.
If you're an avid fisherman, you'll love fishing while
on your holiday. You'll be able to catch fish off of one of three fishing
piers, rent a boat or even take a chartered boat
fishing cruise. Kids under 16 don't require to worry about a Florida fishing
license so it's a great family activity. If you do require a license, it can be
purchased at tackle shops, hardware stores or Florida's tax collector's office.
Taking Sanibel Island holidays
A holiday on Sanibel Island is just 40 minutes from
the city of Fort Myers, Florida & the Southwest Florida International airport.
The surf off of the beaches is gentle, making Sanibel Island a great place for
families with young children.
The island also boasts 25 miles of bike paths, so
parking the car & biking around the island is a necessity. If your children
are too young to ride themselves, a lot of local companies offer tandem bikes
and trailers. Further must see attraction is the hidden bird aviary in
Periwinkle Park. Here you'll discover lovebirds, toucans and flamingos. The
park has a lot of machines that dispense food for the birds so don't forget to
bring a pocketful of modify.
Making The Most Of An Amelia Island Vacation
Amelia Island is located just 22 miles from
Jacksonville, Florida and has 13 miles of beautiful beaches. While the beaches
are a great draw, you'll also discover companies that offer aerial tours of the
island and flying lessons for anyone dreaming of becoming a pilot.
If you'd rather keep a superior view of the ground,
consider riding horses along the beach at sunset or window shop in the a lot of
specialty shops and boutiques along Centre Street.
Whether you're planning an Sanibel , Amelia, Anna Maria holiday, you'll find plenty
to do without the large beach crowds that come with a better known Florida holiday
spot. Once you've spent a quiet holiday off the beaten path, you may never want
to fight the crowds again.
