At 345 feet (105 m) above mean sea level, Britton Hill in northern Walton County is the highest point in Florida and the lowest known highpoint of any U.S. state. [3] Much of the state south of Orlando is low-lying and fairly level; however, some places, such as Clearwater, feature vistas that rise 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 m) above the water.

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).
Barrier islands stretch for 1,200 kilometres (750 miles) along the coast of Florida, with an area of 1,630 square kilometres (630 sq mi). As of 2000, about 700,000 people lived on barrier islands in Florida. [1] All but three of the other island municipalities in Florida are in the Florida Keys, or on artificial islands in Biscayne Bay.
The Sea Islands stretch along the central part of the Georgia Bight shore, from the mouth of the Santee River to the mouth of the St. Johns River. The Sea Islands have a complex geological history. John Zeigler distinguishes three types: "erosion remnant islands", "marsh islands", and "beach-ridge islands". [3]
The islands lie along the Florida Straits, dividing the Atlantic Ocean to the east from the Gulf of Mexico to the northwest, and defining one edge of Florida Bay. The southern part of Key West is 93 miles (150 km) from Cuba. The Keys are located between about 24.3 and 25.5 degrees North latitude.
