Relax and visit one of my favorite beaches in Florida! Ponce Inlet Beach is a hidden corner of the world's most famous beach that you can drive right on about an hour away from Orlando. You can visit the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse and climb 203 steps, or visit the Marine Science Center. If you're looking for a great dinner spot right on the beach check out Racing's North Turn, which sits directly on the north turn of the original racetrack.
We know this may seem cliché, but it wouldn't be a trip to Orlando if you didn't visit the mouse at least once in your lifetime. It is about a 30 minute drive from Orlando. If you don't want to go to any of the parks, but still experience the magic of Disney consider a trip to Disney Springs. There are countless restaurants, lots of shopping, and it is free :)
