With the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other, Florida has more coastline than any other state in the continental U.S. That means you’ll find plenty of beaches to choose from, plus warm water and sunshine year-round. Not surprisingly, some of the most popular water sports in Florida include swimming, sunbathing, surfing, snorkeling, and fishing. But you’ll also find opportunities for more adventurous activities like parasailing, jet skiing, and windsurfing. Plus, with everglades and plenty of rivers and lakes, there's a whole other side of Florida waiting to be explored by kayak or canoe.
