Welcome<br />

Welcome to marvelous <strong>Sebring</strong>, named the<br />

fourth most beautiful town in Florida!<br />

We are excited about your interest in exploring<br />

our vibrant city and surrounding area. Do you like<br />

fishing? <strong>Sebring</strong> is centrally located in Highlands County,<br />

the 14th largest county in Florida, with more than 100<br />

lakes including our state’s fifth largest lake.<br />

Like golf? There are 16 award-winning golf courses,<br />

including a course with one of the world’s largest greens,<br />

plus other courses designed by international names,<br />

promising a great game for the most practiced golf enthusiast.<br />

How about theater and the arts? We have two theaters,<br />

which produce more than a dozen professional performances<br />

each year. In addition, <strong>Sebring</strong> has some of the<br />

best museums in Central Florida and an art league that is<br />

well known for its galleries, and offers painting, sculpture<br />

and crafts classes for all ages.<br />

Do you have a “need for speed?” <strong>Sebring</strong> is also home<br />

to the world-renowned <strong>Sebring</strong> International Raceway<br />

where each March the famous 12 Hours of <strong>Sebring</strong> thrills<br />

race enthusiasts who travel to <strong>Sebring</strong> from around the<br />

world. The track also hosts many other races and events<br />

throughout the year.<br />

Are you a “foodie?” Nowhere will you find more variety<br />

6 Welcome to <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

in local restaurants! From Asian to Jamaican, foods from<br />

around the world are enjoyed here.<br />

Do you enjoy “the great outdoors?” Besides all the water<br />

activities provided by our numerous lakes, there’s camping,<br />

hiking and biking trails at Florida’s first state park<br />

right here in <strong>Sebring</strong>, where you can see wildlife, such<br />

as alligators, wild boar, armadillos and otters. Also, right<br />

down the road is Central Florida’s only biological station<br />

and agro-ecology research center. Several other nature<br />

preserves are also close by.<br />

And did I mention the shopping opportunities? We have<br />

so many unique shops that it may be impossible to visit<br />

them all. But you can try!<br />

The Greater <strong>Sebring</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> of Commerce invites you<br />

to experience our exceptional <strong>Sebring</strong> lifestyle. We think<br />

you will agree there is no other community that offers the<br />

same opportunities for an excellent quality of life as what<br />

you will find here in <strong>Sebring</strong>.<br />

We hope you will grow to love our city as much as we do.<br />

See you around <strong>Sebring</strong>,<br />
