the Keys: Florida Keys is a 120 mile long chain of islands about an hour from Miami by car. These paradise islands are linked to the mainland by the Florida Turnpike at Key Largo, and from there all the way to Key West the scenic highway has been designated “An All-American Road”, the only one in Florida. It is claimed that more world records for game fish have been established among the Keys than anywhere else in the world. The writer Ernest Hemingway was a resident on Key West who managed to combine writing with his passion for fishing in his novel “The Old Man and the Sea”. #travel #usa

The Panhandle: In the north west of Florida a narrow 200 mile long strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico has long been known as “The Panhandle” because of its shape on the map.. However the ‘Emerald Coast’ of The Panhandle is still known for its sparkling beaches and quaint beach towns. In addition to the many water-based activities, nightlife is a speciality of the Panhandle, including the largest night club in the US, the Club La Vela. #travel #panhandle #nightlife #club

Hurricanes and Florida used to go together – up to 2005, 114 hurricanes had hit Florida in the previous 160 years. BUT Florida then went over ten seasons without a hurricane hitting land in the state, and the one that did hit in 2016 was soon downgraded to a tropical storm. During the decade from 2005, 66 Atlantic Hurricanes passed the so-called hurricane state by – hence the question mark in the title. However, it is still true that more hurricanes hit Florida than any other state of the USA. #travel #florida #hurricanes #dangers
