Staying in property in Florida allows all five senses to be indulged in a sensory adventure that could leave you breathless.

Both sight and smell can be brought into action on Amelia Island, with kayaking tours of the salt marshes.

Tourism organisation Visit Florida explains that there is the chance to see manatees and dolphins, as well as to smell the salt air.

For taste-driven residents of Florida property, meanwhile, the 47th Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival is scheduled for the end of April.

From April 30th until May 2nd, the festival is an opportunity to get stuck into shrimp in a truly carnival atmosphere.

Shrimp boats are decorated in an attempt to win the prize for the best dressed, while pirates "invade the streets" according to the tourism body.

Visit Florida suggests that Forrest Gump character Bubba Blue – who, in the movie, ultimately set up his own shrimp fishing business – would be proud of the variety of ways in which the seafood is prepared on Amelia Island.
