Florida’s Elevation: Mostly at Sea Level, With One Modest Peak

Florida is famously flat. The vast majority of the state sits at or just a few feet above sea level. The highest natural point is Britton Hill in the Panhandle, reaching only 345 feet (105 m) above sea level—the lowest state high point in the U.S. This low topography makes Florida especially vulnerable to storm surge and sea-level rise.
