Welcome to Florida
Everyone knows Florida for beaches and theme parks, but the real magic is the water you cannot see from the highway. Florida has more freshwater springs than anywhere on Earth — over 600 of them — running crystal clear at 72 degrees all year long. In winter, hundreds of manatees crowd into those warm springs, and you can watch these gentle giants glide right below your feet. Add white-sand beaches on two coasts, wild swamps full of gators, and sunshine in every season, and you have a road trip for any time of year. Below you will find every Florida map, trip, guide, and hidden gem we have.
