Honeymoon Road Trip in Florida with Visit Florida & Mazda USA
In 2015, we took a 3-week road trip on the west side of Florida, but this time, we explored the eastern side! Our 2-week road trip around Florida included; The Palm Beaches, Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach, Space Coast, and Kissimmee!
The best part? Mazda agreed to let us borrow and test drive not only one, but two of their latest 2017 model cars! Our first ride was the Mazda CX5 2017, which was spacious enough for the two of us and our bags, with loads of room for a few more people as well as!

Florida Road Trip: FIRST STOP – Palm Beaches
We spent our first weekend on the road at Palm Beaches which is, of course, popular for its beautiful beaches, among many other things! I’m really excited because we’re planning to live in Florida for the next few months – one of my favorite destinations in the world!
We departed from Miami at 10 AM, and an hour and a half later, we arrived at our hotel, Hyatt Place Boca Rotan/Downtown. After having lunch at the hotel, we had a couple of hours of downtime before we start our full itinerary. Our first stop was the Waterstone Resort & Marina – which was just a short 7-minute drive with the Mazda CX5.
After enjoying some paddle boarding with Flying Fish Watersports in Lake Boca Raton, we had light bites and drinks at the Waterstone Rum Bar and Grill.
By 7 PM, we had an incredible winery tour at Sons & Daughters Farm and Winery. If you’re in search of a unique watering hole in Florida, we think that this is it! Organic, natural wines, outdoor live music, chilled vibes and a wonderful story behind it all. What’s the story? You’ll have to go there and find out!
On our second day at Palm Beaches, we checked out from Hyatt Place Boca Raton and drove straight to Hilton Garden Inn Palm Beach Gardens. After settling into our beautiful room, we headed to Blueline Surf & Paddle for a stand-up paddle boarding eco-tour of Jupiter’s Intracoastal Waterway. After many tries, I was finally able to stand up!
It’s great exercise, but after that session, we needed some serious eating time, we went for a delicious meal kach.howe@gtravelgurus.com
