| Climate |
Florida
is rightly nick-named
the Sunshine State! Florida
covers a huge area and
the climate can vary quite
a lot depending on where
you are but generally
the summer is hot and
it can be humid in the
Southern part of the state.
Winters are usually mild
and Spring/Autumn have
some of the best weather
of all. |
| Ntl Parks |
Florida
has millions of acres of
undeveloped public land
on which there are more
than 200 state parks, dozens
of national forests, wildlife
refuges and preserves. |
| Golf |
Floria
has 1,200 golf courses,
the most of any US state. |

IF
YOU ONLY SEE ONE THING ...
Go
swimming with the Manatees at
Crystal River.
STRANGE
BUT TRUE ...
The
Seminole Indian tribe have never
signed a peace treaty with the
US government and so are officially
still at war.
LOOK
OUT FOR ...
Tiger
Woods who has a house near Sawgrass,
Ponte Vedra Beach in Florida.

With
1,200 miles of glorious beaches,
some of the most famous theme
parks in the world and a consistently
warm climate, it is no surprise
that Florida is the UK's most
popular long-haul destination.
Most visitors are familiar with
the thrills of the theme parks,
the temptations of the factory
outlet malls and designer stores
and the countless bars and restaurants,
but Florida has so much more.
Nature lovers can swim with the
dolphins and manatees or go alligator
spotting, outdoor enthusiasts
can camp and go kayaking in one
of Florida's 2000 state parks;
if this all sounds too active,
there are miles of golden beaches
to relax on. And with direct charter
and scheduled services from a
number of UK airports and 13 international
airports in Florida to choose
from, getting there is easy.
