Is This The Perfect Vacation For Everyone?

It's affordable (as in, the cheapest beach vacation you can take, most times of the year) and it's a quick flight from most places on the East Coast (and not that far if you're in the Midwest, either). For those reasons and more, a lot of people dismiss Florida as too easy an option when they're looking to book a trip. But, those people are wrong. And, we can prove it.

But, that part you knew. What you might not know: The Sunshine State's got everything from secluded getaways to scene-centric party spots. Each city seems to play a very unique role in this state’s sightseeing performance — and, you can basically customize your trip, Choose Your Own Adventure-style. Up ahead, a breakdown of our favorite cities and their signature experiences. Time to rethink those three leftover vacation days, huh?
