Florida is famous for its beaches, theme parks, natural sceneries, and orange orchards. This East Coast home of Mickey Mouse is known for its natural beauty, such as the Florida Everglades. It is called the Sunshine State for its abundant sunshine and generally warmer subtropical climate.

Florida has the longest coastline (1,197 statute miles) in the contiguous United States, with 825 miles of accessible beaches to enjoy. It’s the only state that borders both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Wherever you are in Florida, you’re never more than 60 miles from the nearest body of salt water.

Florida has a lot to offer—the warm climate, natural beauty, theme parks, resorts, and no state income tax. Orlando is an up and coming cosmopolitan region—it has good colleges, a thriving arts community, great museums, and fine restaurants. This is why so many people want to live in Florida.

Florida is known for its outstanding citrus and accounts for 56 percent of the total U.S. citrus production. The earliest references of oranges date all the way back to 2200 B.C. in ancient Chinese manuscripts and documents, but Christopher Columbus is credited with bringing citrus to the New World.
