The Florida Suncoast (or Florida Sun Coast) is a local marketing name for the west-central peninsular Florida coastal area, also sometimes known as Florida's Beach communities. The region contains nearly 150 miles (240 km) of Gulf of Mexico beaches and the warm, sunny winter climate attracts tourists from across the US, Canada, and Europe.
The peninsular coast of the US state of Florida is formed from contact with three main large bodies of water: the open Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Caribbean Sea to the south, and the Gulf of Mexico to the West (making part of the larger Gulf Coast of the United States).
West Coast beaches offer amusement parks and nature, from where Marilyn filmed "Some Like It Hot" to surf at least head-high 300-plus days of the year.
