Panama City Beach is the top spot. The water is beautiful, there are more than a dozen beaches to visit and there is a lot of nature to explore. Pier Park has a fun SkyWheel, a giant ferris wheel and more.
Next up is Titusville. It's just minutes from where you'll find the famous Kennedy Space Center. If you haven't been, it's a must see. You can touch and actual rock from the moon and sometimes astronauts are hanging out to greet people The beaches of the so-called Space Coast are also beautiful.
