California to Florida Travel Guide

California may be one of the top vacation destinations in the United States, but sometimes it's still nice to get out and explore a new area. If you want the beautiful beaches and wonderful weather that you're used to but want a totally different environment otherwise, Florida may be the place for you. From the alligator-filled Everglades to the vibrant Cuban community in the Little Havana section of Miami, there is plenty to see that you can't find in California.

Florida may not have the towering redwoods and soaring mountain peaks you can find in California, but there are plenty of outdoor adventures. Kayaking or taking boat tours through the Everglades or other parks is a great way to see the state up close. If you enjoy theme parks, Disney World is a must-see. Disneyland may be closer to home, but it's hard to compare with the original.

Weather-wise, Florida can be a nice change from the famously dry conditions Californians are accustomed to. Just be prepared for the humidity, which can make it seem hotter than it really is.

Whether you want to relax on a beautiful beach, explore the vast swamps and complex ecosystems of the Everglades or have a magical experience at Disney World, Florida is a lovely and surprising affordable place to visit from California. Find the best deals on airfare with our smart search tool.
