‘The Sunshine State’ is situated on a large peninsula at the southern
extreme of the east coast of the United
States. It has a warm and humid sub-tropical climate and the economy relies
heavily on the tourism industry. Over 60

and features wide beaches. Most of
the beaches cater to tourists and are

also known for the orchards that produce those famous Florida oranges.
