When you're taking a break from all the things to do in Orlando, these beach escapes – all within three hours of Disney World in Orlando – make for ideal getaway-for-a-day or post-theme park retreat options for relaxation. So once you’ve had your fill of spinning teacups, character breakfasts, and hour-long lines, trade in your Mickey Mouse ears for flip flops and head to the shore.
Though landlocked in Central Florida, Orlando is well-positioned to reach a number of the state’s best beaches within a few hours. Walt Disney World, the most visited vacation resort in the world, consists of four theme parks, two water parks, 300 dining outlets, a slew of Disney hotels, and countless shops and attractions – so needless to say, conquering it all from your home base Disney area hotel is all but downright impossible! Rather, when you’re ready to press pause on the action-packed theme park excitement, consider tacking on an overnight stay or a day trip to a beach escape to round out your trip to the sunshine state.
