Hidden Florida

Description

Just the name conjures up a variety of images -- delicate orchids, waving palms, white sands, tropical waters, orange groves, and most of all, warm sunshine. Florida has been America's premier warm-weather getaway for more than 50 years, and Hidden Florida is the most complete guide to the diverse attractions of this state.

Hidden Florida shows travelers how to discover the state's colorful and fascinating past through exhibits of Spanish treasures and re-enactments of pirate invasions, and along trails hiked by early explorers. Then it guides the reader through the ultra-modern restaurants and boutiques of Miami's South Beach and into the anything-is-possible future on display at the Kennedy Space Center.
