I love the Keys and live in Pensacola. In Pensacola on the second weekend of July the Blue Angels fly on the beach. There is absolutely nothing like it in the world! DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!!
We have the keys which is awesome. If you have kids, Disney World is a must. The beaches here are amazing and you can snorkel, scuba dive or whatever. Its great to relax
I was born and raised and still live in Jacksonville. I love it here.
The best reason to visit my state is the water. It's everywhere and is of such varying types as to support activities from surfing to tubing.
Then there's the Keys. Your continental Caribbean. While it's not the same as it was when I was a kid if you know where to go and what to do it's amazing. The place just puts you in another state of mind.
