International Drive and its attractions for beach lovers
While International Drive itself is not directly on the beach, it offers a plethora of exciting activities and is a great base for families yearning for beach adventures. First, the nearby Orlando Wetlands Park provides a unique opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts to explore Florida's natural beauty, perfect for birdwatching and hiking with the kids. Then, there's the ICON Park, featuring The Wheel, a 400-foot-tall observation wheel that offers stunning views of the area and an exhilarating experience for the whole family. For thrill-seekers, the nearby Universal’s Volcano Bay water park promises a day of fun with its sandy beaches and wave pools, bringing a taste of the seaside right to Orlando. Additionally, a short drive away, you’ll find Cocoa Beach, famous for its surf culture and family-friendly atmosphere, ideal for a day trip. Many hotels along International Drive, such as the Rosen Inn, provide excellent amenities and convenient access to both these attractions and the nearby beaches, ensuring a comfortable stay. After a day of exploring, returning to a hotel that treats you like family—with attentive service and quality facilities—makes it all the more rewarding.
