South Florida
Miami and Keys
South Florida is the southern portion of the Florida peninsula, typically including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach.
The region is known for its subtropical climate, Latin American cultural influence, and distinct character from the rest of the state.
We're moving to South Florida for the weather.
The boundaries are imprecise—some include the Keys, others draw the line at Lake Okeechobee.
