The Florida / Florida Gulf Coast region
As one of the most unspoiled regions of Florida the Gulf Coast really boasts natural beauty, with stunning coastlines and many conservation areas. As well as Disney, there is lots of things to see and do including attractions, culture, arts, shopping, sports, restaurants and bars. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday and want to be able to soak up some sun, you can do so on one of the many golden sandy beaches. Examples of places to visit on the Gulf Coast are: Tampa, St Petersburg, Clearwater Beach, Tarpon Springs and New Port Richey.
