It goes without saying that Florida sun is very strong and you must be prepared to use plenty of Suntan cream. You will see a product called NO-AD, it is cheaper than the rest (ie they don't advertise so they can keep their prices down) We have used for 15 years and the factor 8, 15 and 25 are very good. We tend to keep 25 on the children the whole time and they still look very healthy at the end of the holiday.

You can buy this in most drugstores and supermarkets.

More recently, many companies are doing 'sprays' which are very handy for the kids to put on themselves. Highly recommended.

I would tell anyone going to Florida to take some suntan cream but buy most of it out there as it is far cheaper than the UK.
