Well, only about half of Florida - roughly the southern and western bits, where it's all resting on hollow coral bubbles. That's the good news.
The bad news is, it's going to be a lot less than 50 years: Miami is already having persistent flooding in some suburbs, where the water is coming up through the porous ground it's built on. I would seriously not buy property in Florida if you expect to live more than 10-15 years.

(theres a bunch more from any quick google, including the Miami Herald, this just seemed quick and coherent).
