A bit of a cop out for ABC Wednesday this week with an easy answer to something starting with "O" - but I've been busy, so I have an excuse (not the least of which being a problem with my car involving Oil...)
But ocean we have in Florida - namely the Atlantic Ocean.
Waves gently lapping onto shore in New Smyrna Beach, FLThe Atlantic Ocean is the second largest in the world (behind the Pacific, of course) and covers 41.1 million square miles(106.4 million square kilometres), or roughly 1/5th of the earth's surface.

The average depths of the Atlantic, with its adjacent seas, is 3,339 meters (10,936 ft); without them it is 3,926 metres (12,881 ft). The greatest depth, 8,605 metres (28,232 ft), is in the Puerto Rico Trench (specifically known as the Milwaukee Deep). The Atlantic is also the saltiest of the world's oceans.
Night falls on palms and grasses next to the Atlantic at Neptune Beach, FL near Jacksonville.
