Would you pick Florida or Hawaii for a beach vacation in Dec - Jan?
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.
My parents used to take us to Florida in January in the 90s. It was nice and not crowded, including Disney World. It's probably not the same anymore though.
Key West is fun but it's not very beachy. You could go to a Florida beach town and then drive down the keys for a couple of days. Miami is fun. Tampa/Clearwater is nice. Sanibel/Captiva are pretty, but also very quiet.
