Winter is swiftly approaching and whether you're a fan of the cold or not, snow season is upon us.
While some states are warmer than others this time of year, it's never a bad idea to spend some time in what has grown to be considered one of the "best winter destinations" in the U.S.
Be it perfect temperatures (in states where sunshine trumps snow), fun ski resorts, stunning scenes, or winter activities for the whole family, something about this unique place lands it on top of the list of the best winter destinations in Florida.
According to a list compiled by Reader's Digest, the best winter destination in Florida is Key West. This location was praised for its amazing temperatures and water activities for people of all ages.
Here's what Reader's Digest had to say about the best winter destination in the entire state:
"Winter is peak travel time in Key West, the southernmost point in the continental United States, for a reason. Warm weather, sun, and a swimmable ocean (for northerners anyway; Floridians might think the 70-degree water is too cold) make it a top destination to get away from frigid temps. In addition to water activities like sailing, snorkeling, and diving, on cooler days visitors can check out historic sites like the Harry S. Truman Little White House, the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, and the Audubon House. Winter visitors can also enjoy the culinary delights of the 12th annual Key West Food and Wine Festival in late January."
