This region is characterized by contrasts. Island hopping in the laid back Keys offers music, food, and entertainment in its quaint palm covered streets. Contrast that with the Everglades and the grassy marshlands and wildlife that inhabit that area. Then throw in the hustle and bustle of the city of Miami, the thrilling sports and entertainment that is offered in the city, the leisure of Miami beaches, and the cultural diversity within the city of Miami itself. Palm Beach is sometimes called the playground for the rich and famous. Ft. Lauderdale, the spring break destination for college students, is also a prime family vacation spot. It has 300 miles of navigable inland waterways for its 40,000 yachts and is known as the “Venice of America”. The region also offers citrus groves, Seminole bingo and casinos, and many other attractions.
