Florida has many obvious facts about it. It's called the sunshine state. Alligators are bold enough to walk across highways. Oranges grow here and juice is squeezed here. Many love to come to retire. But even with all you know the things you didn't know about South Florida may be the ones that make you move here.

Miami has a reputation as being big, bold, loud, and tan. The beaches are filled with beautiful women in bikinis enjoying the sun and sand of Miami. When sunset comes the drinks start flowing and the Latin beat begins. The loud music echoes off the brightly colored buildings that line the Miami strip. But no matter what's happening economically here, this city doesn't give up, and because of that it's become the top location for U. S. Corporations to have their Latin headquarters. It has also become a thriving hot spot for International banking.

That influence is apparent because two-thirds of the population is Hispanic, the majority of those are Cuban. The influence of music, food, and culture is shown in the dynamic colors buildings are painted, the Latin beats being played in the clubs and on the street, and even in the fashions. This is an area of heat, not just in climate, but in how people dance, live, and work.

While Boca Raton has often been considered the place for retirement it is more than just a warm place where your dad's bursitis doesn't act up. There are amazing beaches here and the only five star hotel in Florida. The Boca Resort and Club was started in the twenties as a Ritz Carlton property. With the name change and a couple of pink towers added in the late sixties, it became a world renowned resort that stands for the elegance and class of this city.

Fort Lauderdale is known as the place for Spring Breakers to head to when the school lets out, that was then and this is now. Now these beaches are not filled with crazy kids but businesses and family looking for a lovely place to live. Along with its pristine beaches it is the perfect place for those with boats as it's called the Venice of America and has a very extensive canal system to explore. Many of the boats that travel those canals were built right there as yacht manufacturing is a big industry here.

Located on the most southern point of Florida is Key West. Their location puts them closer to Cuba than the mainland of Florida. This place of hanging between two worlds has created a magical lure that many find addictive. The tourists that come seem to always return to enjoy the amazing restaurants, shopping, and of course, the hospitality of the locals.

Magic has some play here as presidents have lived here. Even more amazing is writers like Tennessee Williams wrote A Streetcar Named Desire here. And Ernest Hemingway found this location as the inspiration for books like To Have and Have Not and For Whom the Bell Tolls. There must be something in the water to inspire such creativity.

This land has ghosts of Spaniards, Indians, British and more running through the founding and growth of the Southern part of this state. The things you didn't know about South Florida can be learned if you find a place that you enjoy and decide to set down roots here. You know that beauty and tranquility await you.
