Northwest Florida stretches from the historic city
of Pensacola on the state's western border, east to Apalachicola. With miles
of undeveloped natural beaches, quiet fishing villages and quaint historic
districts, visitors will feel like they are among the first to discover the
"Other Florida."
Florida's North Central Region
extends from Gadsden County and Wakulla County in the
west to Alachua County in the east. Also known as "The
Nature Coast," here you will find Florida's capital
city – Tallahassee. This region's rich history
and vast wilderness make an excellent backdrop for outdoor
activities.
Northeast Florida, known as "The First Coast,"
is America's oldest European settlement and one of the nation's leading modern
seaports. Encompassing Atlantic beaches as far south as Flagler County and
inland communities west to Palatka, the region offers travelers adventures
through 17th-century forts and wide beaches lined with sand dunes.
Encompassing the southern portion
of the "Nature Coast," as well as the popular
vacation destinations of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater
and Sarasota, the Central West region of Florida offers
a vast array of cultural, historical, natural and recreational
riches along gem-colored waters and sun-drenched beaches.
Central Florida reaches from the horse farms of Marion
County, to one the top tourist destinations in the world - Orlando. Home to
perhaps the most famous mouse on the planet, as well as the largest sand pine
forest in the world, Central Florida is a thrilling combination of modern
attractions and natural beauty.
Central East Florida makes a
roaring start at the "Birthplace of Speed,"
blasts through the "Space Coast," and quietly
ends amid the buried gold and famous oranges of the
"Treasure Coast." From horseless carriages
to rocketing space ships, the Central East region blends
the glory of Florida's yesteryears with the triumphs
of her tomorrows.
With alabaster beaches, exotic
wildlife and lush subtropical foliage, Southwest Florida
combines the sophistication of a pampered island resort
with the relaxed style of Old Florida. Southwest Florida
rolls out the welcome mat, beckoning visitors to enjoy
idyllic beach getaways and captivating backcountry adventures.
The chic elegance of Palm Beach
and the pulsating rhythms of Miami's South Beach are
more than enough to keep most vacationers entertained.
Add the grassy vastness of the Everglades and the majesty
of the Florida Keys -- the result is a miracle of diversity
and a vacation treasure unlike any other.
