There are two large peninsulas on the Gulf of Mexico, facing Cuba:
The Yucatan Peninsula, located on southeastern Mexico, is a triangular peninsula that separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea. With a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw), it is mostly a flat land composed of limestone. Due to this nature, there are almost no surface rivers in the peninsula and most water comes from holes in the ground known as cenotes. It is a place known for being home of the ancient Mayan civilization, with beautifull remains of cities such as Chichen Itza and Tulum; however many of these ruins are covered by the thick vegetation that characterizes the region. It is also believed that the Chicxulub crater, covering almost half of the peninsula, is the site of the crater impact that killed the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago. There are three federal states on this peninsula: Campeche (capital: Campeche), Yucatan (capital Merida) and Quintana Roo (capital Chetumal). Some of the most important cities include Campeche (791,322), Merida (734,153) and Cancun (526,701).
The Florida Peninsula, located on southeastern United States, is a panhandle-shaped peninsula that extends along the northern Gulf of Mexico. With a dry subtropical climate (Köppen Csb), it is mostly flat land composed of limestone, where most water comes from sinkholes and lakes. Discovered by Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon in 1513, he baptized Florida in honor to the Pascua Florida (Flowery Easter). It is now home to landmarks such as the Kennedy Space Center or Walt Disney World, near Orlando. All Florida peninsula falls within the boundaries of the US state of Florida, and some of the most important cities on the peninsula would be Miami (4,919,036), Tampa (2,062,339) and Orlando (1,157,431).
