Florida is Southern all over the State, you just have to get out of the cities to realize it. I’m a 4th generation Floridian and we have Southern accents...most Floridians do if you’ve been here a long while...We prefer to go to the Gulf beaches instead of the Atlantic...the white sands and its a lot calmer than the Atlantic...Also a true Floridian doesn’t complain when the weather gets cold for a few weeks...the ones who complain are the people who move down from up North and complain that they have to put on a light jacket for a week..it’s comical...we love the dip in temps gives us a reason to open the windows...
