The Northwest part of Florida? It is called Peninsular Florida. Unlike the first smart aleck answer, this one is correct. Actually, it is called the Panhandle of Florida. It is also referred to as "The Emerald Coast" because of the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the sugar-white sandy beaches.

What is driving distance between Houston and the Florida Panhandle?

The Florida panhandle is very long, almost 200 miles east to west. So the driving distance from Houston depends largely on what part of the Florida panhandle is your destination. From Houston to Pensacola, near the western end of the panhandle, is a 525-mile drive. To Tallahassee (the state capital), which is at the eastern end of the panhandle, the drive is about 709 miles.
