  • Tip Rating:
  • The humidity is unbelievable for people who come from the drier states. Be prepared, because during the summer months, it doesn't cool off, even at 3 am.

  • Tip Rating:
  • HURRICANES; but mostly they 'only' hit the east coast of Florida and the panhandle, at the west coast you should be safe, or at least safer than in other parts of Florida.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Although Florida is a fairly safe state, it is still struggling with its reputation for crimes against tourists. While the authorities have been successful in reducing such attacks, the fact remains that visitors who have left their cares and sometimes their common sense at home make an inviting target for opportunistic criminals. So some common sense is in order! Enjoy the state but be wary.

  • Tip Rating:
