But would you want all of those options surrounding you every day? The staggering number of ways to have fun may overwhelm you.
However, should you get the travel bug and want to explore your new world, here are a few suggestions: Caribbean Gardens, Edison-Ford Winter Estates, Flamingo Gardens, Lowry Park Zoo, Miami Seaquarium, The Shell Factory, Sunken Gardens, The Florida Aquarium, Walt Disney World, Epcot, The Animal Kingdom, Disney-MGM Studios, Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld Orlando, The Holy Land Experience (Orlando), Busch Gardens Tampa, Weeki Wachee Springs, Silver Springs Nature Park (Ocala, Fairchild Tropical Garden, Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Flamingo Botanical Gardens and Wildlife Sanctuary, Florida Everglades, Parrot Jungle & Gardens, Everglades National Park, Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, The Deerfield Beach Arboretum, International Orchid Center, Miami Seaquarium, International Game Fish Association Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum, Key Largo Undersea Park, Key West Aquarium, Molasses Reef, Quiet Waters Park, John Prince Park, Butterfly World, Lion Country Safari, Zoo Miami, Monkey Jungle, Palm Beach Zoo and others.
Besides the great weather, the main interests of most new residents are comfortable living, activities and interesting attractions. Florida communities are unique in this respect with many located close to the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. There you can enjoy boating, scuba diving, world-class fishing, water skiing, snorkeling, windsailing, relaxing on the white sandy beaches and so much more. And no matter where you live there is always golf and tennis. Shopping at outlet centers, visiting animal habitats, sightseeing, museums, art galleries, and other cultural venues and enjoying the many state and national parks that dot the landscape can make any day an adventure. If you feel the urge to explore, you can easily visit the Florida Keys, the nearby Bahamas, and all of the Caribbean. There are many flights and plenty of cruise ships to take you there.
Other major attractions are The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, the Boca Raton Museum of Art, Boynton Beach's Green Cay Nature Center and Wetlands, and the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. Of course, you'll want to go to the beach and Delray's was voted one of the top public beaches in the southeastern United States for swimming and one of the top 35 beaches in the entire country overall by Travel Holiday magazine. Or go across Alligator Alley to enjoy the beautiful beaches of Naples, Marco Island and the Paradise Coast.
Active adult retirement communities also provide their residents with the opportunity to stay active all year by offering clubhouse activities, classes in art, dance, music, arts & crafts, photography and more. Being able to enjoy social activities and events without having to travel outside the community is greatly appreciated. Daytime activities, such as card games, lectures, classes and other social events at the clubhouse is a wonderful way to interact with others. Evening dances, movies, and entertainment shows always give you something to look forward to. And clubhouses with fitness centers offer you the opportunity to remain fit and healthy. By selecting the right retirement community you'll have the opportunity to remain active in your favorite pursuits for many years.
No matter which coast you choose you won't be disappointed with all that Florida has to offer you. If you crave activities all year round, Florida should be your new home. Wouldn't it be nice to go for a walk any day of the year - or jogging, or swimming, or playing tennis, or golf or whatever it is that you like to do outdoors? You'll find an amazing number of historical sites, museums, cultural venues, art galleries, parks and nature preserves, animal habitats, hiking trails, boating sites and more. Or if your favorite activity is hunting for a bargain in the discount outlet centers, you will discover more stores than you can handle. Of course, living in South Florida is like being on vacation all year long. If you feel the urge to explore, you can easily visit the Florida Keys, the nearby Bahamas, and all of the Caribbean. There are many flights and plenty of cruise ships to take you there. Yes, climate, dining and shopping, cultural attractions, golf, educational and business opportunities, and the beautiful beaches all add up to the fact that South Florida is a wonderful place to live, work, and play. Come and join the fun.
