Sanford, Florida is truly a "gateway" back in time. With it's
quaint Main Street, historic residential area and a beautiful waterfront,
the City of Sanford takes you back to a more peaceful time in history.
Sanford is located on the shores of Lake Monroe and the St. Johns River and
is less than 30 minutes away from some of Central Florida's more popular
tourist attractions and less than an hour away from the most famous beach in
the world, Daytona Beach.
Sanford itself is the home of many things that would draw people to
the area, including the Central Florida Zoo, the Marina, and a Civic Center.
The city is easily accessed from Interstate 4, and also is home for the
southern most terminus for Auto Train and the Orlando Sanford Airport.
More than 36,000 year round residents call Sanford home, with 1,500
more arriving each winter. Outdoor activities are enjoyed year round
with an average temperature of 72 degrees. Summer temperatures rarely exceed
95 degrees. One of the best ways to enjoy Sanford is to take the historic
downtown walking tour. The adventure begins at the famous clock located in
the center of town. The town has also served as a location for many movies
seeking a historic small town feel, including the major motion picture
"My Girl."
