Why Visit Florida?

Florida, located in the southeastern United States, is celebrated for its iconic beaches, subtropical climate, and diverse ecosystems. It’s capital is Tallahassee, while its most populous city is Jacksonville, with Miami, Orlando, and Tampa as major urban centers.

Florida’s landscapes are defined by its extensive coastline, featuring world-famous beaches like Miami Beach and Clearwater Beach, as well as the Everglades, a unique wetland ecosystem. Its history is marked by Spanish colonization, Native American heritage, and the quest for discovery, as exemplified by the Spanish treasure fleets and the founding of St. Augustine, the oldest city in the continental United States.
