Located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf, Florida you will find a world of magnificent beaches, spectacular fishing, parks, great diving, and diverse wildlife both above and below water.

The cities range from huge, modern Miami to quaint, colorful Key West, and endless fun for the kids of all ages at Orlando’s Walt Disney World. I've always found Florida's parks to be spectacular. We have the world-significant Everglades... to the underwater paradise of the Biscayne National Park. As a beach lover, I've been writing about Florida for decades because the state is just packed with beautiful sandy destinations.
