WELCOME TO FLORIDA

This is where you and your loved ones can renew, reconnect and reimagine. Consider first some of the facts that set Florida apart.

Florida has over 1,300 miles of coastline, much of which is made up of sugar-sand beaches, each having their own personality. The laid-back Keys are often called America’s Caribbean with its azure waters. South Florida beaches dance to a Latin beat, while the Space Coast offers wide, packed sand perfect for bike riding or watching surfers and rocket launches.

Get Out There

Florida’s unique geography makes it the only state where you can witness a sunrise on the Atlantic and a sunset on the Gulf of Mexico in the same day! Between the coasts, there are dense forests and a river of grass, antebellum towns and futuristic theme parks, glistening high-rises and shimmering blacktop speedways.

Beach Escape

Floridians and those who visit enjoy a few common luxuries: no matter which Florida city or region you’re in, you’re always within a few hours from the ocean, the winters are generally warm and fresh, and locally caught seafood and homegrown citrus is plentiful.

Variety

But that doesn’t mean all Florida cities are alike. Each has its own unique history, identity and story to tell, whether it’s a large urban metropolis or a small community built around its strawberry crops or cattle ranches.
