Florida is the USA's most visited state for a reason — 825 miles of sandy coastline, year-round warmth, and an entertainment portfolio that ranges from the world's greatest theme park destination to one of North America's last great wilderness areas. The state has something remarkable for essentially every type of traveller, which is why roughly 140 million people visit every year.
Miami's South Beach is globally iconic — the Art Deco pastel facades along Ocean Drive, the white sand beach, Lummus Park, and the electric energy of a city where Latin America, the Caribbean, and the USA meet. Little Havana's Calle Ocho, the Wynwood Walls street art district, the Design District's luxury galleries, and the dining scene anchored by James Beard-recognised chefs make Miami a world-class city destination beyond the beach. The Florida Keys stretch 125 miles of overseas highway from Key Largo to Key West — snorkelling the only living coral reef in the continental USA at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, exploring Islamorada's fishing and diving culture, and ending in Key West for the legendary Duval Street sunset are classic Keys experiences.
Orlando houses the world's most visited theme park destination: Walt Disney World (four parks, two water parks, an entire entertainment district), Universal Studios (the Wizarding World of Harry Potter being its centrepiece), and SeaWorld are all within a few miles of each other. The new Epic Universe park opening in May 2025 adds Nintendo World and a fifth Disney-competing theme park to the mix. A serious theme park trip can easily fill 7–10 days.
The Everglades National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest subtropical wilderness in the USA — covers 1.5 million acres of sawgrass prairies, mangrove estuaries, and cypress swamps inhabited by alligators, Florida panthers, manatees, and hundreds of bird species. Airboat tours and canoe trails through the backcountry are the best ways to explore. Visit November–April (dry season) for the finest wildlife viewing and most comfortable temperatures.
Families targeting Orlando's theme parks, beach and Art Deco lovers in Miami, wildlife travellers in the Everglades dry season, and anyone building the quintessential Florida road trip.
