If you have a car and you are looking for an activity for your off day from the parks, visiting one of the many Florida beaches within a 1-3 hour drive is a great option!

I agree with some of the others. Cocoa Beach is the closest (about an hour's drive) and is definitely a fun beach, but the white sand beaches on the gulf coast are incredible! It's an extra hour of driving to get to the gulf coast, but it's worth it, especially since you are thinking about staying for three days.

If you’re a fan of Disney Vacation Club, you probably already know about this low-key destination, home to Disney's Vero Beach Resort. It's located an easy two-hour drive from Disney World, yet feels a “world” away from the theme park frenzy. The former training ground for the Los Angeles Dodgers and a center for the state’s citrus industry, the sleepy seaside Atlantic “Treasure Coast” promises balmy breezes along miles of ocean beaches.

However the closest nicest beach is Clearwater Beach on the west coast about an hour and a half drive. Really there is no way to get to and from the beach from Orlando without renting a car, unless you want to take a taxi or fly to St. Petersburg (west coast). Source(s): Born and raised in FL.
