Geography of Florida:

Surrounded by water on three sides, with more than 1,000 miles of open beaches, no point in Florida is more than 75 miles from salt water. Crystal-clear springs, thousands of fresh water lakes and rivers, lush green forests, sawgrass prairies, and rolling hills ribbed by groves of citrus fill the interior. Because Florida is so diverse, we often divide the state into eight geographical regions; (Northwest, North Central, Northwest, Central East, Central, Central West, Southwest and Southeast & the Keys) - each having their own unique character, climate, ecology and attractions.
