All About Florida
Florida is the most
southeastern state. It is a 450-mile long peninsula located
between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. At the
very end of the peninsula are a string of islets called the
Florida Keys. The capital of Florida is Tallahassee.
1300 miles of coastline
beaches and a very warm climate are reasons many visitors come to
Florida in the winter and the summer. Over 35 million
visitors come each year to visit the beaches, Disney World near
Orlando, and the John F. Kennedy Space Center. Visitors also
enjoy going to the Everglades National Park in southern
Florida. This 5000 square mile park preserve has many unusual
wildlife to see.
Florida is also famous for
its citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruit. Citrus fruit is
Florida's most important agricultural product.
