Follow your sunshine
This is the Sunshine State. Average temperature: 72 degrees.
On 825 miles of beaches, Florida is bathed daily with the perfect soundtrack: the roll and fall of surf, from the Gulf to the Atlantic, on sand as white as snow and as warm as cinnamon.
From oceans that are never more than an hour away to 700 clear-as-glass freshwater springs that stay a constant 72 degrees, Florida is a daily wonderland for snorkeling and diving, kiteboarding and kayaking, tubing and powerboating.
