For the best time to visit Florida our helpful guide offers more tips on when's best to travel and enjoy Sunshine State.

The best time to visit Florida

The best time to visit Florida is from March to May and October to early December, when the weather is warm, humidity is lower, and crowds are often more manageable. These months are ideal for enjoying Florida’s beaches, theme parks, golf courses, nature trails, and outdoor attractions without the peak summer heat.

Spring and late fall are especially popular for visiting destinations such as Orlando, Miami, Tampa, Sarasota, Naples, and the Florida Keys. With plenty of sunshine, comfortable temperatures, and a more relaxed atmosphere, this is a great time to experience the best of Florida, whether you’re planning a family vacation, beach escape, golf trip, or theme park getaway.

Food and drink in Florida

Food and drink in Florida are shaped by its coastal setting, cultural diversity, and year-round sunshine. Fresh seafood is a highlight, with popular dishes including stone crab claws, grouper, snapper, shrimp, and lobster, often served grilled, blackened, or in sandwiches and tacos.

Florida is also known for regional specialities such as Key lime pie in the Florida Keys, Cuban cuisine in Miami, and Southern-inspired flavours throughout the state. From waterfront seafood shacks and beach cafés to upscale dining in cities like Miami, Tampa, and Sarasota, there’s something for every taste.

For drinks, expect tropical cocktails, local craft beers, and refreshing margaritas enjoyed at beach bars, rooftop lounges, and waterfront restaurants. Food and drink in Florida are relaxed, flavourful, and an essential part of the state’s lifestyle.

Flying to Florida

Flying to Florida is easy, with multiple major international and domestic airports across the state. The main airports all offer frequent direct flights from cities across the US, Europe, and beyond.

Which Florida airport should I fly into for my vacation rental?

For Orlando, Orlando International Airport (MCO) is usually the most convenient choice. Coastal visitors can also consider Miami (MIA), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Tampa (TPA), Sarasota-Bradenton (SRQ), Southwest Florida (RSW), Key West (EYW), Destin-Fort Walton Beach (VPS) or Northwest Florida Beaches (ECP) depending on their destination.

From the airport, Florida’s destinations are easily reached by private car hire, domestic flight, or private transfer, making travel around the state straightforward and convenient.

Driving in Florida

Driving in Florida is straightforward and often the easiest way to explore the state. Roads are wide, well maintained, and clearly signposted, making navigation simple for visitors.

Drivers travel on the right-hand side of the road, and distances between cities and attractions can be long, so hiring a car is highly recommended. Speed limits are strictly enforced, and toll roads are common, particularly around major cities.

Do I need a car when staying in a Florida vacation rental?

A private car or car hire is recommended for reaching most Florida vacation rentals, particularly in Orlando and spread-out coastal destinations. A car gives you greater flexibility for attractions, beaches, restaurants and shopping. Airport transfers, taxis, rideshares and selected resort shuttles provide alternatives to a car.

It's worth noting that a couple of destinations such as Key West and some beach communities are actually easier to explore without driving, so it's best to review the destination you have in mind, for the best way to get around.

Trains and buses in Florida

Trains in Florida offer a comfortable way to travel between some of the state’s major cities. Services such as Amtrak and Brightline connect key destinations including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, making trains a convenient option for city-to-city travel without driving. Trains are clean, reliable, and ideal for shorter intercity journeys.

Buses in Florida provide a budget-friendly option, with services like Greyhound and regional bus networks linking cities and towns across the state. Local buses operate within cities but can be limited in coverage and frequency, especially in beach and resort areas. While buses and trains work well for select routes, they are best used alongside car hire for exploring Florida fully.
