Embraced by the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, Florida's coastline is graced with sandy beaches and swaying palm trees. The waves call to surfers, swimmers and dolphins. Beneath the sea foam and blue waters, a potpourri of colors explode. Electric pinks, blues and purples from jellyfish and coral, nestled beside the orange and green sea urchins, starfish and seahorses.

It's these vibrant colors that bring out the snorkelers and scuba divers. The beaches, however, are not the only eye candy to be appreciated. The Ocala National Forest and numerous lakes give way to prairies of wiregrass, black gum and cypress trees, while cascading Spanish moss clings to almost any rustic surface. These, and the amazing birdlife, are excellent reasons for picnicking, hiking and water-skiing. Additionally, the appropriately named Sunshine State, due to its temperate 60s-80s, hosts many attractions, including Disney World, Epcot Center and other theme parks. Delicious restaurants have been influenced by the melting-pot of cultures here, as well as the fresh and juicy citrus fruits. With lush golf courses, a popping nightlife and swimsuit clad beaches, there is something for people of all ages.
