Florida is located in the southeastern United States and is bordered by two states directly. However, considering states in close proximity, here are six states near Florida:
Georgia (directly borders Florida to the north)
Alabama (directly borders Florida to the northwest)
South Carolina (northeast of Florida, near Georgia)
Mississippi (west of Alabama, relatively close)
Louisiana (west of Mississippi, along the Gulf of Mexico)
Tennessee (north of Alabama and Georgia, within the region)
These states are geographically or regionally near Florida, depending on how “near” is defined.
