What's a Snowbird?

Snowbirds are people from the Northeast, Midwest, or Canada who spend a large portion of winter in warmer climates like Florida, the Carolinas, or other states in the Sun Belt region of the southern United States.

Snowbirds can be retirees, business owners, or others fortunate enough to take the winter off. Some snowbirds are RVers who take their homes with them.

 

Top 7 Snowbird Destinations

  • The Florida Panhandle - you'll find great beaches, fishing, golf and delicious seafood in the panhandle; but there are times when it can get quite cold.
  • The Space Coast - RVers love the Space Coast because of affordable campgrounds and RV Parks. Golfing, fishing, and cruise ships are in abundance here.
  • Atlantic South Florida - This side of Florida is a little more expensive and fast paced, but for those who want to bask in the sun and spend time on the beach, this is a must.
  • Gulf South Florida - It's a little more leisurely here with prices lower than on the Atlantic-side. This side is also the golf-lovers paradise.
  • Central Florida - If you're looking for theme parks, golfing and a never-ending list of thing to do, this is the place to be. There is also a weath of campground and RV parks here.
  • Key West, Florida - White sand beaches, turquoise waters, fishing, sailing, and consistantly warm temperatures is a real treat.
  • Coastal Georgia - Savannah, Jekyll Island and the Georgia coast offer ante bellum mansions, gorgeous architecture, and amazing southern food.
