Sunscreen
To piggyback off our last reason to be thankful. Floridians simply could not survive without sunscreen. Without it, we’d look like this guy.

Sweater Weather
While other states are bundled up in winter gear, Floridians are thankful for sweater weather all winter long. Any time the thermometer dips below 75 degrees, we use it as an excuse to whip out our cardigans and knee-high boots.

Gorgeous Fresh Water Springs
If going to the beach surrounded by tourists isn’t your vibe, then you’re in luck! Floridians are thankful for this alternate cool-down activity in the summer time. Fresh water springs like Weeki-Watchi, Rainbow River, and Crystal River (just to name a few) to relax and cool off in the summer time. BONUS! Any spring open in the fall is a great opportunity to get close to our sea cows! I mean, who doesn’t love a manatee sighting!
