Winter Park, Fla. — Florida Travel & Life, Florida's leading travel and lifestyle magazine, has released an insider's view of 37 ways to live it up during summer in the Sunshine State. Discover what the experts on the good life in Florida say when the July/August issue hits newsstands this week.

"I've always been one to root for the underdogs," says Editor-in-Chief Ana Connery of the revitalized Hollywood Beach, which made this year's Summer Hot List. "They tend to have a spark, an oomph … then there's the underdog's underdog. Now these are the ones you really want to cheer. Hollywood is the perfect example. This seaside up-and-comer once in Fort Lauderdale's shadow just debuted a new Broadwalk with Wi-Fi access (even on the sand!) that earned it a spot on our Best of Summer 2008 list."

"37 Ways to Live it Up," is Florida Travel & Life's annual list of the most fun things to see, do and revel in during the hottest months of the year. Some ideas include glorious sunsets at the annual SummerJazz on the Gulf concert series. A ride on the new custom luxury speedboats from Fearless Yachts and Porsche Design Studio, or experiencing "Swinging in the Sand," a beachside dance class at the legendary Don CeSar Beach Resort. Find out what other essentials made the Best of Summer List for a spectacular Florida summer.

More fun summer travel ideas can be found in the feature "Life on the Bay." Florida Travel & Life's senior editor Patricia Letakis embarks on a self-guided tour of Tampa Bay neighborhoods and discovers that while a renaissance is definitely in the making, much of what gives Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater their soul has been around a long time.

Florida Travel & Life also interviews Alonzo Mourning and his wife, Tracy, as they share their other life's work: philanthropy for at-risk youth.  Behind the sharp scowl that can make even 7-footers tremble, the Heat star has a soft side that's becoming hard to hide in his adopted hometown of Miami. Find out more about Alonzo's work with the 100 Black Men of America program and Tracy's work with The Honey Shine Mentoring Program for At-Risk Girls in this month's issue.
