Florida
Aptly nicknamed "Sunshine State", Florida is one of the most popular
travel destinations in the world. The very name of this fourth most populous
state of the USA brings to the mind images of Mickey Mouse and white-knuckle
rides. However, there is more to Florida than that. Meandering waterways,
hills, forests, freshwater lakes, vibrant cities and primeval swamps, miles
of coastline, several bays, inlets and islands, and a climate ideal for
vacations make this one of the most popular States in the USA.
For the modern tourist, the obvious first port of call is Orlando, known
as the home of Disney World in central Florida, Orlando is known for its
EPCOT Centre and theme parks as well as cinema studios.
Located on the southeastern tip of the peninsula, the cosmopolitan Miami
and its beach have been the playground of the who’s who of the rich
and famous world.
Greater Fort Lauderdale and the Palm Beaches are popular spots for vacationers
offering miles of beachfront and a wide assortment of sports and recreational
activities.
The Space Coast is significant as the site of Cape Canaveral, home of
the Space Shuttle launch pad.
Tampa and St Petersburg, the main cities in the Central West region of
Florida, offer wonderful resort accommodations and a wide range of family
vacation activities. |
