Southeast Florida
Why Go?
Zooming north from Miami's tanned and diamond-draped clutches, you'll find an endear-
ing collection of beach towns - some classy, others quirky, all unique. From activity-
packed, gay- and family-friendly Fort Lauderdale to quiet, exclusive, semireclusive Palm
Beach, laid-back Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and the rugged coast of Jupiter, you'll find more
adventure and nightlife than you can handle. This chunk of coast also includes some of
Florida's wealthiest enclaves - enjoy gawking at the castle-like beachfront mansions, but
don't rear-end that $350,000 Bentley when parallel parking in front of the Gucci store in
Palm Beach!
For those looking for a more down-to-earth setting, the region's numerous natural gems
- secluded islands, moss-draped mangrove swamps, wild rivers, empty dunes - will surely
satisfy your demands for nonmaterial pleasures.
So please, whatever you do, don't skip over this region on your journey from Miami to
Disney World.
