Most of Florida's coastline is bordered by beaches, and about 50 percent exists in its natural state.
As the southernmost state on the continental United States, with peninsular and panhandle landforms Florida has a coastline of 1,100 miles. Florida has 30 lighthouses and the second largest coastline in the United States. Florida is famous for exceptionally sunny weather. In 2022 the Sunshine State was hit with Hurricanes Ian and Nicole. I’m breathing a sigh of relief now that the 2022 hurricane season has finally ended. A season of hope and restoration begins. Gasparilla Lighthouse, Boca Grande Lighthouse and Sanibel Lighthouse were impacted by Hurricane Ian. Although the Florida Lighthouse Association immediately released funds to stabilize the lighthouses, much work remains to be done. To learn more and make donations, visit their website.
