Beaches
The Atlantic beaches of Florida’s Space
Coast are just under an hour away from
Orlando. Combine a visit to Cocoa Beach
with the Kennedy Space Center for a great
day-trip. Over on the Gulf Coast, the white
sands of Clearwater and St Petersburg are a
couple of hours away.
After dark
While
Downtown Disney
gives you
spectacular evening entertainment Disney-
style, International Drive is a good place to
taste Florida beyond Disney. By day, it’s a
bustling street with attractions, shopping
and restaurants. By night, the party places,
pubs and lounges come alive.
Orlando has a big music scene too. It’s full
of great venues including nightclubs and
restaurants. You’ll find something to cater
for all your entertainment needs.
Shopping
Shopping is as American as apple pie;
and the retail therapy on offer in Orlando
is an attraction in itself. From Designer
Factory Outlets to Farmers’ Markets, the
opportunities are endless. Trust us, you’re
going to need a bigger case.
