One of my frequent photography spots, Dania Beach Pier in South Florida, images shot while waiting for the "Supermoon".

Nice job on these. Beautiful. I love water and light.

Side note: I am, sort of, seeing (from a distance) someone from Florida. I will be going there in a few weeks. So naturally I am starting to become interested in all that FL has to offer in Landscape. If you have any FL inspirations I would be more than thankful if you shared them with me. No worries if you do not have the time. PM would be good.

A few things to recommend, at least in South Florida:
Waterscapes:
* Moon rise - if you time a moon's rise over Atlantic to be right after sunset, its a good sight - but you need to get really lucky otherwise there are usually clouds on the horizon.

* Sunrise over the Atlantic - it's quiet nice also, unless clouds interfere.

* Various piers (like Dania Pier in my photo), can be used as a subject in Sunrise/Sunset photos.

Tropical Landscapes - we have little interesting stuff (personal opinion) as Florida is very flat.
* Fairchild Tropical Gardens has some lush landscapes to photograph, and they have a great collection of exotic plants, if that's your thing. The area surrounding Fairchild has some old trees.

* Flamingo Gardens

* Everglades National Park - not my favorite, as it's mostly a featureless grassland, but there are probably compositions there which I haven't found yet. Plenty of gators to shoot.

* Naples Botanical Garden has great landscapes (west coast of Florida)

* Greynolds Park with a nice collection of local trees and mangroves:

We also have several wetlands but there is little landscape there, mostly animal photography.

Cityscapes:
* Watson Island off Miami (can walk onto the bridge and shoot Miami Skyline). With right conditions, the clouds reflect colored buildings. Pier is no longer accessible unfortunately, so the bridge is the only option.

* Bayfront Park near American Airlines Arena (where Miami Heat plays) - its beautiful at night.

* Rickenbacker Causeway (drive over from Miami, then go under the bridge) has a more distant view of MIami skyline:

Street Photography:
* Miami at night ... American Airlines Area is nice too:

* Wynwood Art District (where most of the district is covered in street art - and has excellent local breweries)

Hope this helps a bit ...

I would add Green Cay (Boynton Beach). Primarily for bird photography,but some landscapes as well.
Similarly, Viera Wetlands (along the Space Coast). Birds, yes. Interesting landscapes as well.
Merritt Island (within 30-40 min from Viera).
Not much luck for me at the Glades.
And, for a different venue, South Beach art deco hotels.
