Gold Coast
One of the most beautiful attractions on a Florida holiday is the sixty miles of Gold Coast, stretching from Palm Beach to Miami Beach, with a line of tropical paradises and enchanting beach resorts between them. The popular strip currently attracts close on nine million holidaymakers every year. Development is proceeding apace as the natural landscape of sprawling grassland is replaced with opulent resorts and high-rise apartment blocks. The larger resort cities along the coast, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, are experiencing unprecedented building booms as the number of immigrants rises. Visitors and residents alike come to enjoy the natural attractions of the area, the laid-back atmosphere, the almost constant warm, sunny weather, the luxurious 'country-club' lifestyle and the hundreds of sophisticated shopping malls. The best way to explore it all is to take a meander by car along Florida A1A, a narrow road that winds along the coast connecting the long thin barrier islands that give the area its myriad golden sandy beaches. Alternatively, pick a resort, kick off your shoes and enjoy a summer vacation, any time of year.
