Florida's high season runs from June through August. During this time, tourists flock to the beaches, which include the two west coast favorites of St. Petersburg Beach and Clearwater Beach, both just minutes from Holiday. Expect increased hotel rates and crowded attractions during the high season. The off-season is in April and May, although spring break can affect prices and hotel availability in April. September through November are good months to visit, as the temperatures are pleasant, rates are lower, and crowds are minimal. Avoid the end of March if you want to escape the spring break crowd.
