The Florida Peninsula is the finger of land making up roughly two-thirds of the U.S. state of Florida, extending south between the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It ends at the Straits of Florida, across from the Bahamas, and its long low coastline gives the state the longest coastline in the contiguous United States, at about 1,350 miles not counting its barrier islands. Florida is the only U.S. state that touches both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.
