South Florida

Five coastlines, five completely different Floridas — from Art Deco Miami to Caribbean Keys.

Where the Atlantic Meets the Gulf, the Coral Reef Meets the Glades

South Florida is not one place — it is five distinct coastlines stacked together, each operating by completely different rules. No other region in the state packs this much contrast into a single drive.

The Gold Coast runs from Jupiter south through Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Delray Beach: an arts-forward Atlantic shore with walkable downtowns, world-class museums, and a nightlife scene that rivals any city in the Southeast. Just north of it, the Treasure Coast is the authentic antidote — working fishing ports, uncrowded sea turtle nesting beaches, and the quiet elegance of Vero Beach and Stuart.

Cross the state to the Gulf and you find Southwest Florida: Fort Myers' riverfront and historic downtown, Sanibel and Captiva for the finest shelling in the Western Hemisphere, Naples and Marco Island for upscale Gulf sunsets and the Ten Thousand Islands, plus Fort Myers Beach and Punta Gorda for laid-back waterfront vibes.

Then there are the Florida Keys — a 125-mile tropical archipelago atop the only living coral barrier reef in North America, ending at Key West, one of the most singular towns on Earth. And to the north of it all, the wild heart of the peninsula: the Everglades, arriving soon.

South Florida's Five Coastlines

5 Towns
West Palm Beach Delray Beach Boca Raton Lake Worth Beach Jupiter

The Gold Coast

Florida's most glamorous Atlantic shore. From the high-end galleries and nightlife of West Palm Beach to the walkable café-lined streets of Delray Beach, and the quiet fishing docks of Jupiter at the northern edge — this is the Gold Coast at its best.

7 Towns
Fort Pierce Stuart Vero Beach Sebastian

The Treasure Coast

Florida's most authentically un-touristy Atlantic coast — named for the Spanish treasure fleet that wrecked here in 1715. Working fishing ports, sea turtle nesting beaches, and the understated elegance of Stuart and Vero Beach. No mega-resorts, no cruise ships. Just the real Florida.

6 Towns
Naples Fort Myers Beach Sanibel Marco Island Punta Gorda Everglades City

Southwest Florida

From Fort Myers' riverfront and Sanibel's world-class shelling to Naples' Fifth Avenue South and Marco Island's Ten Thousand Islands gateway — plus Fort Myers Beach, Punta Gorda, and Everglades City — this stretch of the Gulf offers refined resorts, laid-back beaches, and untouched wilderness.

5 Towns
Key Largo Islamorada Marathon Lower Keys Key West

The Florida Keys

A 125-mile tropical archipelago sitting atop the only living coral barrier reef in North America. Key Largo is the dive capital of the world. Islamorada is the sport fishing capital of the world. Key West is a writer's colony, a sunset institution, and Mile Marker 0 — the end of the road and the beginning of something else entirely.

Wildlife Kayaking Wilderness Manatees

Everglades & Big Cypress

The largest subtropical wilderness in North America. Over 1.5 million acres of sawgrass prairie, mangrove forest, and hardwood hammock — and one of the most ecologically important ecosystems on Earth. Everglades City is the gateway to the Ten Thousand Islands.
