Southern Florida is a study in contrasts. Here are native farmers and ranchers who speak with a southern accent, but also international jet-setters who live here only part of the year. Much of the area is old; a lot of it is new. You'll find developed beaches and lonely stretches of country road. And in some places, you find all of these aspects in just one county!

Whether you come for the wilderness of the Everglades, the fun-loving Keys, the beautiful southwestern barrier islands or the hotspots of Miami, there's something for everyone to do in southern Florida.

Hopefully, you can plan a trip to Everglades National Park, Lake Okeechobee or Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, all of which are important to the Everglades ecosystem and the health of Florida Bay. J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island is a favorite with birdwatchers. And the beauty of the coral reef stretching along the Keys draws divers and snorkelers from around the world.
