For college students, summer is a great time to relax and forget that in a couple of months, the grind of schoolwork, sweat, and tears will be back in full swing. Florida is the place to be for college students across the nation in summertime due to the beautiful beaches, amusement parks and fantastic weather. Here are some places to visit for your summer vacation in the Sunshine State.

2. Captiva Island, Fort Meyers FL

Looking for a beach that's beautiful but also isn't as crowded as Daytona, Clearwater, or Cocoa? Look no further than Captiva Island to experience beautiful white sandy beaches and a natural Florida coastline.

3. Devil's Den Spring, Williston FL

Located near the University of Florida, this spring is open to the public for scuba diving and snorkeling every day of the week. Devil's Den is underground which makes the experience even more memorable!

For those who don't want to party the entire time or are into architecture, Tiffany's Chapel is known for it's beautiful stained glass and interior design and is an unknown spot for anyone visiting Orlando.

6. Glass Bottom Boat Tour, Crystal River FL

This boat tour showcases native fish and wildlife along the Crystal River. The bottom of the boat is glass so you get a clear view of everything the Silver Springs area has to offer.
