Answer: D. engage in recreational activities on the beach.
Explanation:
Florida is a state situated between the Gulf of the Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. The state is divided into two coasts such as the East Coast and the West Coast or the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Coast.
The coastal regions of the Florida exhibit a warmer temperature in winters and receives mild cold wind currents in summers.
