Florida

Florida is in south east of America... a place well known for its beaches and southern culture. Nicknamed the sunshine state, Florida hosts a subtropical weather with full of warmth and holidays. Housing Miami, Jacksonville and Tallahasse, Florida is much popular among tourists..It is one of the oldest place named by european which still has the name unchanged. Juan Ponce de León, a Spanish conquistador, named the region in honor of his discovery of the land on the evening April 2, 1513, six days after Easter and still during Pascua Florida, a Spanish term for the "Flowery Easter" season.The state line begins in the Atlantic Ocean, traveling west, south, and north up the thalweg of the Saint Mary's River.

The climate of Florida is tempered somewhat by the fact that no part of the state is very distant from the ocean. North of Lake Okeechobee, the prevalent climate is humid subtropical, while coastal areas south of the lake (including the Florida Keys) have a true tropical climate. An ideal weather for beachlovers and other water sport enthusiasts. With lots of beautiful surroundings , Florida is beautiful with lots of beach inhabitants with some clothing optional beaches too though it is not much advertised.

Oh by the way the famous walt disney resort is also locatated there..encompassing four theme parks, two water parks, 24 on-site themed resort hotels (excluding 8 that are on-site, but not owned by the Walt Disney Company), including a campground, two health spas and fitness centers, and other recreational venues and entertainment. so don't think much plan your Florida Family Holidays now.. and enjoy the tropical sun and sandy beaches...
