Summary

The Tampa Tribune called The Rough Guide "the real lowdown" on Florida. With fresh coverage from the panhandle to the keys and our new color photos, the sunshine state has never looked brighter. You'll find more information on the sights and cities you're seeking -- Miami and Orlando -- as well as extensive detours into uncharted territory -- southern backwaters and pristine beaches you can call your own.
