So You Think You Can Escape? Not That Easy... Unless You're Heading to These Two States
Florida: the Sunshine State, land of alligators, theme parks, and retirees living their best life. But what if you've had your fill of beaches and want to, you know, see some dirt? Well, buckle up buttercup, because Florida's a peninsula, meaning it's almost surrounded by water. That means there aren't exactly a ton of state borders to scoot on over to.

| What Two States Border Florida |
But Fear Not, Fellow Traveler! There is a Way Out (Unless You Brought a Boat)
Florida does, in fact, share a land border with two of its fellow United States brethren. But before you pack your bags and head north, here's a quick geography quiz (don't worry, it's easy):
- Border #1: Shares a love of peanuts and college football. (Think houndstooth hats and "Roll Tide!")
- Border #2: Home to peaches, pecans, and that giant Coca-Cola bottle in Atlanta. (Sweet tea capital of the world, y'all!)
Ding ding ding! You guessed it! Florida's northern neighbors are Alabama (west) and Georgia (east).
QuickTip: Skim the ending to preview key takeaways.
Pro Tip: If you're terrible with directions and somehow end up in South Carolina or Mississippi, you might want to double-check that map. You went a little too far, buddy.
But Wait, There's More! (Because We Can't Resist a Good Beach Pun)
While Florida might be a little landlocked on the north side, it more than makes up for it with some seriously stunning coastlines. The Atlantic Ocean on one side, the Gulf of Mexico on the other – it's a beach lover's paradise!
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.
Bonus Fun Fact: Florida is the only state in the contiguous US that touches both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. So, technically, you could be building sandcastles on one coast and surfing the other in the same day. #BeachGoals
