Florida
Florida’s native heritage is ancient and expansive. The earliest evidence suggests that first Floridians lived here 12,000 years ago. Today, more than 100 destinations celebrate the rich history and modern culture of Florida’s native people.
Florida beaches, whether quiet and secluded or bustling with activity, are ranked among the best in the country for beauty, accessibility and facilities. Families, couples and active singles enjoy year-round sunshine, soft sand and clear Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean waters.
Florida’s theme parks include Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, along with dozens of smaller attractions and water parks. Shopping in Florida runs the gamut from high-end malls to large outlet centers to antiques shopping districts to walkable downtowns lined with eclectic boutiques.
