Florida is mainly a large peninsula that extends about 645 km (about 400 mi) between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Much of the rest of the state forms the narrow Panhandle between Georgia and Alabama on the N and the Gulf of Mexico on the S. Florida is the 22d largest state, with an area of 170,304 sq km (65,755 sq mi). The lowest point is sea level, and the highest point, an unnamed spot in Walton Co., in the Panhandle, is only 105 m (345 ft) above sea level; the approximate mean elevation of the state is just 30 m (100 ft). The dimensions of Florida, which has a coastline of 2173 km (1350 mi), are about 725 km (about 450 mi) from N to S and about 580 km (about 360 mi) from E to W. The federal government owns 8.3% of Florida's land area.
Florida is a great vacation spot. There are many happy things located inside it. Why do you think so?
