Gulf Coast Holidays

The Gulf Coast boasts lots of easygoing resorts, which are bathed in the most beautiful sunsets in the world, such as Sarasota and Fort Myers, Sanibel and Captiva. Amongst the many swamps and wetlands, which are great for canoeing, you’ll find the best natural park in Florida is The Everglades National Park. It is hard to believe your eyes at the captivating beauty of the exotic birds, animals and flowers. Observe the ‘keepers’ of the park, the alligators along the Anhinder Trail. The best way to see the Everglades is to take an Air Boat Tour, where you can experience real excitement as you get close to native wildlife and glide across the river. Then relax on perfect beaches of turquoise waters and white sands that are found along 35 miles of barrier islands.

The resorts such as St Petes and Treasure Island, Sarasota or Sanibel and Captiva Islands to name but a few are bordered on the east by Tampa Bay and on the west by the Gulf Of Mexico. Because of the constant sunshine the Gulf Waters are warm to swim in. The interesting choices of hotels, motels and restaurants suits all budgets in the many Gulf Coast Resorts.

Fort Myers Beach on the South West Coast is another resort discovered in recent years and has become increasingly popular. Otherwise there is also Naples and Marco Island.

All Ocean-Florida flights are with either major airlines - Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, American Airlines, United Airlines - or household name charters - Thomas Cook, Thomson and First Choice - who take you direct to Sanford, Orlando.
