Florida Gives Small Town Push
Florida visitors are probably already familiar with Orlando's glittering theme parks and the fine white sands of Gulf Coast beaches. But chances are they haven't heard much about the historic and picturesque downtowns of Dunedin, Lakeland or Jensen Beach. State tourism officials are trying to change that.
Hoping to draw repeat Florida visitors off the beaten path, Visit Florida, the state's public-private tourism arm, recently kicked off a multiyear, $1 million-plus marketing campaign aimed at promoting the cultural and historical attractions of downtowns and some of the state's lesser-known villages.

Many summer vacationers do not know what a deal Florida can be in the summer. You can rent a condo across from the beach for $500 to $1000 a month. Many come with a pool and tennis courts. South Florida near the beach ranges from 73 to 92 with the water at 84. Now the humidity is high and it rains for about 30 minutes a day in the late afternoon. Look up seasonal rentals for Naples and Marco Island.
