–> Updated:

Florida, an American state washed on the western side by the Gulf of Mexico and on the eastern side by the Atlantic Ocean,is a paradise for active and healthy recreation.

Entertainment and recreation aside, Florida has a rich historical and cultural past that is home to peaceful locals, Spanish conquistadors, pompous pirates, and generations of Caribbean influences that make it an incredibly interesting and diverse place to visit.

It is also home to some of the most unique natural sites, including the Everglades National Park and many barrier islands with precious ocean ecosystems.

In today’s article, I have prepared for you a list of outdoor adventures you can do in Florida.

Is Florida An Outdoorsy State?

100% Yeath.

Many tourists associate Florida, first of all, with a beach holiday.

Indeed, the state is famous for its upscale resorts, but you should not limit your vacation to just staying on the coast because there are so many outdoor activities in Florida.

For example:

Unique Outdoor Adventures in Florida

Outdoor Spa & Yoga on the Beach

There are wonderful outdoor spas and wellness centers where you can truly relax.

Key West is considered the leader in the number of luxurious spas.

Ocean Wellness Spa & Salon, Prana Spa, and Amri Key West are among the best complexes of this kind.

There is also a center where those who want to practice yoga will have a great time: Yoga on the Beach (by the way, another popular center of this kind can be found in Islamorada; it is called Island Flow Yoga).

The title of the most luxurious spa in Florida rightfully belongs to the Spa at the Breakers, located in Palm Beach. Among other popular complexes worth visiting are Lapis Spa in Miami Beach, as well as Gen Spa in Pompano Beach and Hands of Light Massage Therapy in Siesta Key.

Outdoor Escape Rooms

The most interesting quests await tourists in Orlando, where many excellent clubs are located, and among them the center with the simple name Escape Game Orlando is already the best.

Another popular escape quest club is Fox in a Box in Miami,it is also worth mentioning the One Way Out escape quest club in Jacksonville, as well as Escapology, what are located in every major city.

In Orlando, there is a 7-D Dark Ride Adventure simulator, and the Hollywood Drive-In Golf mini-golf course is of interest. Another excellent mini golf club is located in Clearwater and is called Congo River Golf.

Those who want to spend time not only having fun but also benefiting from it should visit the Painting With a Twist studio in St. Augustine.

Water Sports and Baseball Games

Surfing of any kind, parasailing, diving, and kayaking—and almost any beach in the state offers such leisure—so tourists will have no problem choosing it.

Fishing tours and SUP boarding are very popular too.

Among the places where you can watch sports competitions, it is worth highlighting the American Airlines Arena basketball arena in Miami, where, among other things, music concerts are often held.

Those who want to watch baseball games have more choices: Blue Wahoos Ballpark in Pensacola, Spectrum Field in Clearwater, and Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota.

Skydiving

You can try skydiving, but those who are a little afraid of such extreme leisure can always try indoor skydiving( there are more than enough centers of this kind in Florida; the best of them are located in Orlando, Tampa, and Fort Lauderdale).

Amusement Parks

The most important theme park in Florida is the world-famous Disneyland, located in Orlando.

This is the largest amusement park on the planet that your children will love to visit.

But besides Disneyland, Orlando also has several other well-known and very popular entertainment centers.

Among them are:

  • A water park called SeaWorld
  • One of the best water amusement parks is Wet and Wild.
  • Universal Studios;
  • Discovery Cove;
  • Island of Adventure

Ponies Beach Horses Excursions

As soon as you get to Marion County, it becomes immediately clear that this is a real horse kingdom.

I don’t know how things are in American cities, but in the province of Florida, such a specific high spirit is everywhere.

You leave the house in the morning. You look to the right—the horses of the neighbors walk in the meadow; you look to the left—there are horses of other neighbors.

While driving to the city center through the “private sector”, in every yard you see horses: where one or two are, and where there is a whole herd; on the highway, signs to all kinds of horse ranches are literally at every intersection.

This Ponies and Beach Horses Excursion (in St. Petersburg) was an amazing experience with a very helpful guide.

The horses were healthy, beautiful, and even easy to handle.

What Outdoor Activities Are Open in Miami?

Doing all types of water sport activities, taking Biscayne Bay tours,doing Biscayne Bay jet ski rentals, doing Biscayne Bay parasailing, having Key West day trips with snorkeling and an open bar, visiting zoos, having an airboat ride and a wildlife show, and many other outdoor activities…

My Conclusion: How Outdoorsy is Florida?

Florida is an outdoor state, and it is a paradise for active and healthy recreation.

This state is also world famous for oranges, sunny beaches, famous parks for children of all ages (Disney World and Universal Studios), national parks, and many different attractions and outdoor activities, so I definitely advise you to visit the state of Florida.

And in particular, visit big cities such as Ontario and Miami; they will leave you with many pleasant memories.
