Florida's Natural Wonders

Florida encompasses a variety of natural habitats to choose from, like coastal dunes, limestone caverns, dry scrublands, saltwater marshes and subtropical forests.

Diverse Ecosystems

Natural Springs

Perhaps one unique feature that remains unnoticed is Florida boasts more fresh water springs than any other place on earth. Our unique characteristics and mild winters make Florida one of the most traveled destinations in the world.
