FUN FACTS: Florida's coastline is teeming with diverse wildlife. It is home to several protected areas, including the Everglades National Park, where you can spot alligators, manatees, and an incredible variety of bird species. Keep an eye out for sea turtles nesting along the beaches too!

The Florida Reef, known as the "third reef" and stretching over 360 miles, is the only living coral barrier reef in the continental United States. Florida's rich maritime history includes tales of notorious pirates such as Blackbeard, Gasparilla, and Jean Lafitte.

The coastal towns and islands still hold remnants of their adventures, inspiring tales of buried treasure and swashbuckling escapades.
