Steve’s take

Historic Sanford is on the St. Johns River about thirty minutes north of Orlando via I-4. The downtown has antique shops, a waterfront boardwalk, and enough small-town Florida charm to remind you that Orlando wasn't always theme parks. If you have a free morning or afternoon and want something quieter than I-Drive, Sanford is the move. Walk the riverwalk, grab lunch at one of the local spots, and feel human again between park days.
