Florida at a Glance
Florida's climate is ideal for vacations, drawing visitors to the pristine
beaches and warm waters that surround the peninsula. To the north, Florida's
Emerald Coast
and the Pensacola
Bay Area are renowned for their fishing opportunities and beaches for taking
in the sun. Recreational activities are abundant in the Big
Bend Area, as are oppotunities to see manatees and other native Floridian
wildlife. The Tampa
and Sarasota Bay
areas feature resort accommodations and a range of family vacation activities,
much like Greater
Orlando, which is known as the home of Disney
World and the EPCOT
Center. Miami is
the jewel in Florida's crown, and is found at the southeastern tip of the peninsula,
offering a wealth of cultural attractions. Greater
Fort Lauderdale and the Palm
Beaches offer miles of beachfront, drawing visitors from around the world
to this natural vacation spot. The Space
Coast is noteworthy as the site of Cape
Canaveral, home of the Space Shuttle launch pad.
