The beaches in Florida are among the most popular attractions, sugar white sands washed by warm tropical ocean currents and lined with palm trees. Miami is the center of the mega south Florida metro area, filled with trendy shops, expensive dining, famous faces, and a Latin vibe. Miami and Fort Lauderdale is home to more cruise ships than anywhere in the world, while more yachts are registered in south Florida than anywhere in North America. Florida is also home to some of the world's best known theme parks, including Disney World, Universal Studios, Busch Gardens and SeaWorld. However some of Florida's best-kept secrets are in secluded locations away from tourist areas, but well worth seeing. Florida has something to offer for any kind of traveler. Exotic animals found nowhere else in the United States are found in some parts of Florida. (Florida Wikitravel)
