I want to go with my son during his winter break. Never been to any of these 2 but he really likes the beach so I’d like to take him to a proper tropical place this time.
Hawaii. Beautiful scenery, culture, food. Florida has a beach yes , but also ugly cities and some terrible. floridians
Hawaii. I used to live in Florida and while it has some pretty places and neat things, most of it is generic grubby little towns, trailer parks and lots and lots of rednecks. And most of isn’t very tropical.
Plus, Hawaii has volcanoes, which are always cool.
YMMV.
Florida is canceled. Hawaii.
Hawaii overall is nicer and more expensive than Florida, however Florida easily has the better beaches. Snorkeling is going to be better in Hawaii, but the beaches themselves are pretty rocky and kind of mid, to be honest. Florida knows its beaches are the money makers and goes the extra mile to make them nice. The sand is well groomed and it’s that powdery white sand that feels incredible.
Thanks. My son likes sunbathing / lounging on the beach, playing around / swimming in the water close to the shore the most; so the actual beach is really important.
Puerto Rico is lovely
Depends on which is closer. Also, only South Florida is truly tropical
Hawaii, because Florida.
Hear me out: Belize!
Well, Florida got it pretty bad this hurricane season, so I guess it partly depends exactly what area of Florida you’re considering, plus basically whichever of the two states is generally in better shape after their recent disasters.
Either way, wherever you go, check the specific area you’re considering first.
