Travel Forum / Destinations / USA and Canada / November 2005Orlando - Bush gardens - Beach
We're going for a 10 night vacation to Orlando. We'll get there Sunday around 12 pm and plan to leave the following week Wednesday on a 4 pm flight from Orlando international airport. For the first week of our stay in Orlando we plan to the Disney and Universal etc. For the 3 and half days left in the second week (Sun, Mon, Tue and ½ of Wed) I hope to be able to spend one full day at Bush gardens and spend a full 36 hours at the beach and relax from all the running around. My question is: how do I schedule this and which beach would you recommend that is close to Orlando? a) Go Monday to bush gardens. Stay in a hotel in that area, (like Clearwater Beach which I read is very nice), on Monday and Tuesday night. This gives us 1 full day at the beach on Tuesday and little time on Wednesday since we have to drive back all the way to Orlando airport to catch our 4 pm flight. b) Go Monday to bush gardens and drive back Monday evening to a hotel in the Cape Canaveral/cocoa beach area or another beach in that area that you can recommend. This will give me Tuesday and half of wed at the beach Is the Clearwater beach that much nicer then the Orlando beach? And how does the weather compare?

And how > does the weather compare? Orlando does not have a beach, at least not a natural beach. The weather in Orlando and Clearwater should be similar. Just check the web site at http://www.weather.com to see how the weather there is. Clearwater is fine. Daytona and Coacoa beaches are also nice, and a little closer to Atlanta. Which beach to visit depends on the type of beach environment you prefer. Whatever you do, I recommend you make your hotel reservations BEFORE you leave home. If you wait to reserve a hotel room until you get to the hotel, you will pay rack rate, which is always a rip off. //Clearwater is fine. Daytona and Coacoa beaches are also nice, and a //little closer to Atlanta. whats with Atlanta? tell me about the different enviroment. i'd like to be able to access the beach straight from the hotel thanks > //Clearwater is fine.

I had Atlanta on my mind because I recently made a trip there. > We're going for a 10 night vacation to Orlando > ...which beach would you recommend You don't say when you're going, but if it's anytime during the next few months you'll probably find the water too cool for swimming, and the air might even be too cool for sunbathing. In the winter they typically have lows in the 50's and highs in the low 70s.

Its Busch Gardens. The Busches are a German-American brewing family, the Bushes are an English-American political family. No relation. > My question is: how do I schedule this and which beach would you > recommend that is close to Orlando? [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > that you can recommend.

If you have your heart set on Busch Gardens, then you should certainly go to a beach on the Gulf side. Its crazy to go 90 miles west of Orlando to a theme park and then 90 miles east of Orlando to the beach. Clearwater is fine. Really, if you cannot get your fill of theme parks in Orlando, you are really into theme parks. Disney and Univeral may satisfy you, and Busch is not that big a deal. There are, BTW, buses that run from Orlando to Busch for less than $5. > Is the Clearwater beach that much nicer then the Orlando beach? Orlando is as far from the ocean as one can be in Florida. It has no beach. |
