FLORIDA HOLIDAYS

It might be mostly famous for its numerous theme parks, which would take you a staggering two full months to explore, but Orlando has so much more to offer.

The Florida Keys - that's the collective name for the row of tiny islands that make up the southern most tip of the USA.

So named because of the gold salvaged from shipwrecks off its coastline, the Gold Coast has over 60 miles of Atlantic shoreline running from Jupiter in Palm Beach County down to Fort Lauderdale.

The Everglades National Park, the Big Cypress Swamp, and numerous other wetland reserves, wildlife refuges and habitats are all close by Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Miami - the third most popular city with tourists in the US (after LA and New York) is a cosmopolitan metropolis with plenty of attractions, nightlife, and shopping.
