About Berkshire By The Sea & Florida FAQs

Florida is famous for its diverse attractions, including theme parks like Walt Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando, the Everglades National Park, the vibrant city of Miami, and the beautiful beaches along the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Ocean.

The best time to visit Florida is from late fall to early spring (November to April) when the weather is warm but not too humid, and there are fewer chances of hurricanes. This period is ideal for outdoor activities and theme park visits.

Be sure to try Florida’s fresh seafood, including grouper, stone crab, and Key West pink shrimp. Don’t miss out on tasting Key lime pie, a signature dessert, and Cuban-inspired dishes, especially in South Florida.

Florida is a large state, so renting a car is the most convenient way to explore. Major cities have public transportation, but for traveling between cities or to more remote areas, driving is often necessary. There are also options like Amtrak trains and intercity buses.

Florida is laid-back and diverse, but it’s polite to greet people with a simple “Hello” or “How are you?” Tipping is customary in restaurants, usually around 15-20% of the bill. When visiting natural sites like the Everglades, follow guidelines to protect wildlife and the environment.
