Florida Travel Guide

The beaches that outline the Florida peninsula are legendary the world over, surf-pounded on the east coast, powder-soft and pure-white on the Gulf. Resorts and hotels come in all shapes and sizes—tall and glitzy, green and sprawling. Golf courses splash the flat landscape with acres of green, while theme parks thrive. But stray a few miles from your air-conditioned hotel room and you might glimpse the land that welcomed sponge divers from Greece, cigar makers from Cuba, and boat people from Haiti. The state offers a bit of everything, from the energy of Miami to the history of St. Augustine.
