South Florida
South Florida has been a Mecca for the “rich and famous” for the past century. Sweeping from Fort Meyers in the west to Palm Beach in the east, white sand and tropical weather draw people from around the world. On the western coast, Naples has been called Florida’s “most sophisticated city” due to its numerous shopping boutiques and demand for perfection. However, take a short drive south to Marcos Island and the Ten Thousand Islands, and you will be in Florida’s natural paradise. Protected by the government, the Florida Everglades house a record number of endangered plants and animals. Although not to be traveled without a knowledgeable guide, this area is perfect for any nature enthusiast. The next stop is Miami, Coral Gables, Fort Lauderdale, and the eclectic Coconut Grove. This mixing pot of cultures is something to be enjoyed at any age. From strolling the streets of Little Havana to taking a chance at the ritzy nightclubs of South Beach, this southernmost tip of mainland Florida leaves little to be desired. Take a drive down through the Keys of Islamorada and Marathon to Key West, only 90 miles from the shores of Cuba. This laid back island is the perfect getaway spot and was the home of Hemingway and other famous writers. Interesting to say the least, this mixing pot of the many cultures of Florida is a perfect way to end the perfect vacation. |
