An illustrated guide to the historic sites and natural attractions of “the Sunshine State”, whose climate, beaches and theme parks make it one of the world’s most popular holiday destinations.
Florida is a magic place — full of sun, beaches and theme parks for young and old alike, it also contains some of the most interesting natural history sites in the nation. Long favoured as a retirement destination, Florida is still the most popular holiday destination in the country.

Florida, the southeasternmost American state, is surrounded by water — the Atlantic on the east side and the Gulf of Mexico on the west side. Miami is known for its Latin-American culture while Orlando is famous for Walt Disney World and many other attractions.

Florida’s first Indigenous inhabitants have lived on the peninsula for at least 12,000 years. Written records about life in Florida began with the arrival of Spanish explorers in 1513. Florida became the twenty-seventh American state March 3, 1845.

NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre continues to play a key role in the exploration of space and the launch of missions to the Moon and the International Space Station.

Here are just a few of the many fascinating attractions to be found in this book: Florida Caverns State Park; Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge; Walt Disney World; Miami Beach; Universal Studios; Busch Gardens; Legoland; SeaWorld; Everglades National Park; Daytona International Speedway; Spring Training — Baseball; Ocala — World Horse Capital; Kennedy Space Centre; Dry Tortugas National Park; Florida Historic Golf Trail; Salvador Dali Museum, St. Petersburg.

Truly, Florida offers something for everyone and is the ideal holiday destination.

Michael Worek is a writer and editor with a special interest in nature, history, and American architecture and urban development. His previous books include Nobel: A Century of Prize Winners and An American History Album.
