The Northwest Region of Florida includes the Panhandle and the Big Bend and boarders the Gulf of Mexico to the south and Georgia and Alabama to the North. Florida’s capital city, Tallahassee, is part of this region. The culture of the panhandle is more closely related with the deep south of the boarding states.
The Northwest region of Florida is home to several natural wonders. The Apalachicola National Forest, one of the largest national forests in Florida, offers opportunities for hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing. The region also includes protected areas such as Gulf Islands National Seashore, which spans across multiple barrier islands, and St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, known for its unspoiled beaches and sand dunes.
Some of the most pristine beaches and natural coastlines are located in this region and includes the Emerald Coast and the Forgotten Coast.
