Sanibel Island Melbourne Cocoa Beach A T L A N T I C O C E A N Captiva 0 50 miles 0 50 km Ask anybody what comes to mind when thinking of Florida, and you'll likely get an endless list of cheery imagery and happy recollections. Days upon days of clear skies; 825 miles of smooth, soft beaches and jaunty palm trees; spirited nightlife; wildlife and outdoor adventures; and, of course, theme parks galore—and that's only the start! But dig deeper, into its cities, and you'll discover a diverse land with traits that make it truly world-class. Visit the Caribbean in Key West, Cuba in Miami, or entirely different worlds in Orlando. Tee off in 1,250-plus courses in the Everglades' swamplands, overlooking the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico, or near the countless lakes that dot Florida's center. Have oranges fresh from the groves that supply 47% of the world's OJ, and lunch on some of America's finest seafood after catching it in rich coastal waters. Wonderful museums, historic districts, cultural events, exquisite dining, aquatic fun, and more try to convert you into one of the 1,000 people who move to Florida each day. All it takes is one visit to understand why they do.
