☀️ Florida’s 100-Degree Days: The Bestest (and Coolest) Things To Do When It’s Hot Enough to Melt
Let’s be real—Florida in the summer is like living inside a blow dryer set to “lava.” But you don’t have to spend all day hiding in the A/C.
Whether you’re a local or planning your escape from overpriced real estate elsewhere, here are the best things to do in Florida when it’s 100 degrees out—and how to still enjoy life in the Sunshine State.
🌊 1. Dive Into a Natural Spring
Forget the beach rush. Natural springs are Florida’s original air conditioning. Crystal clear, 72° water all year round? Yes, please.
Top spots:
- Wekiwa Springs (Orlando area)
- Weeki Wachee (with actual mermaids)
- Ichetucknee Springs (North Florida tubing)
👉 Live close to the springs? Check if we cover your area here.
🍹 2. Frozen Drink Crawl Downtown
When it’s too hot to function, cool down with a frozen daiquiri (or three). Florida’s downtowns are full of shady patios, misters, and good vibes.
Try:
- Rocco’s Tacos in Orlando
- Fat Tuesday in Tampa
- Any bar near the beach in St. Pete
🛶 3. Night Kayaking with Bioluminescence
Avoid the heat altogether and go night paddling. Florida’s coastal waters literally glow after dark thanks to bioluminescent plankton. It’s like floating through stardust.
Book a tour in:
- Merritt Island
- Indian River Lagoon
- Titusville area

🎢 4. Master the Theme Parks (Smartly)
Locals know: Theme parks are manageable in the heat if you do them right.
- Book indoor rides mid-day
- Use Genie+ or Express Passes
- Schedule a sit-down lunch to cool off
Living near Disney? Even better.

🍦 5. Find the Best Ice Cream in Your City
There’s no wrong time for ice cream, but 100° is the rightest.
- Scoops in Celebration
- Kelly’s Homemade in Orlando
- Jaxson’s in South Florida
🏠 Bonus: Just Chill at Home (But the Right Home)
Some of the best summer days in Florida are spent doing nothing on a shady patio, under a ceiling fan, with a cold drink.
