The state is bordered to the west by the Gulf of Mexico, to the northwest by Alabama, to the north by Georgia, and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean. Where is Florida Located? The given map of Florida state shows that Florida is located in south-east region of the United States. The Florida US has peninsular feature that you can see on Florida map. Likewise, it is surrounded by water bodies from three sides.

However, Alabama shares boundary from northwest and Georgia from north. The Florida state US was 27th state that admitted as state. The state Florida has comparatively warm climate specifically subtropical climate and brightening Sunshine; this is because it is nicknamed the "Sunshine State".

Frommer: Going back to the state parks, people forget that before there was Disney World and all its compatriots among the amusement parks, there were these magical state parks that are well worth visiting today.

Pittman : Absolutely. There was a roadside attraction, Weeki Wachee Springs , that had women who would dress up as mermaids and swim around and do a show. When they started facing declining fortunes, the state bought the place and took it over.

So now the mermaids work for the state, which has led to some interesting conversations about the taxpayers footing the bill for things like waterproof lipstick and shell bras. If you want to go sit in the nude and read about being nude, that would be the place to go. One of my favorites: a woman at a nudist colony went for a late-afternoon swim and wound up battling an alligator, and her husband, who was equally nude, came to her rescue and saved her.

I always tell people, "That is the bravest guy I know. Frommer: My favorite from your book was the guy who rang the doorbell nude to propose to his girlfriend, but rang the wrong doorbell and got tasered. Pittman : I think the taser is the favorite weapon among police officers here.
