Honolulu, San Juan, Miami, Keys. That's about it that is truly tropical. Rest of South is subtropical as winters get much cooler than what would be needed to be considered tropical (transition point is around West Palm Beach, but technically all the way up to Philadelphia is considered subtropical)

Stuart Florida is considered a tropical rainforest climate, and is located north of WPB, so the transition zone would probably be right around there.

Interesting, I had never heard that about Stuart. I used to live just south of West Palm Beach and spent some time in Stuart, and my sense of it was that the dividing line (climate-wise) was somewhere between those two cities, closer to West Palm.
It's been years since I've been there. I've heard that Port St. Lucie has become a pretty good-sized city, which I simply can't picture. Sometime I'll have to go down there and check it out.
