Central Florida

Introducing Central Florida

With such beautiful sand and water, it’s no surprise that people gravitate to the coasts, leaving much of the middle part of the state a hollow, under-populated core. The exception is Orlando, the beating heart of tourism and largest inland city. Tourists from around the world make the pilgrimage here, drawn to the oodles of family-lovin’ theme parks. Central Florida also has a slew of gorgeous natural springs bubbling up from deep beneath the earth, offering yet another reason to leave ­behind the beaches for a couple of days inland.
