But there's more to Florida than just roller coasters and life-size cartoon characters. Fort Lauderdale has some impressive museums and historical sites while the waters of the Florida Keys are great for fishing and diving. In fact, North America's only living coral barrier reef can be found there. The Keys make up the southern tip of the state and consist of more than 400 islands along the Florida Straits including Key West and Key Largo which have become weekend hideaways for those living in Miami. The sultry, decadent city of Miami is another popular stop for travellers taking flights to Florida. Celebrities and jet-setters flock to its shores for more than just a tan; they come to party till dawn in South Beach.
