Map of Florida Geographic Regions

You will learn all about these places on our website whether you are looking for fun, culture, shopping, dining, a place to settle down or just a Florida getaway.

We include a brief history of every place because we think it's fun to know about the places you visit.  We also provide local and regional maps so you can see where each town, city, and county is located.

No single website can explore this many towns in depth, so we will focus initially on those towns we know something about.  Again, this is strictly our opinion of some of the best towns in Florida.

Here are the 189 towns and cities currently on our website as of September 20, 2020.
