List of island municipalities in Florida facts for kids
Florida is a state with many towns and cities that are built entirely on islands. Most of these places are located on barrier islands. Barrier islands are long, narrow islands that stretch for about 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) along Florida's coast. They cover an area of about 1,630 square kilometres (630 sq mi). As of As of 2000[update], around 700,000 people lived on these barrier islands in Florida.
Other island towns in Florida are found in the beautiful Florida Keys. Some are also on artificial islands in Biscayne Bay. These islands are man-made, created by people.
