SOUTHWEST FLORIDA

           BEACHES, CULTURE






           AND BASEBALL








            With more than 250 species of birds, over 100 miles of beaches and five major league
            baseball teams that spend their spring training days here every March, Southwest Florida
            spans a diverse range of attractions for visitors. That’s not to mention superb fishing,
            boating, golf, shopping, museums, theater and arts. Stretching from the Everglades in the
            south to the shores of Lake Okeechobee in the east, the Gulf of Mexico to the west and
            Sarasota-Bradenton in the north, the region retains a reputation for adventure and privilege.
