Firstly, at the start of the pandemic testing wasn't as organized or reliable as it is now. If you recall, it was spotty in many cities and states and results were slow with a lot of false positives. Secondly, Florida gets tons of tourists every day even in the summer. It could be driven by those visiting from out of state or from other countries. Thirdly, the re-opening of businesses, especially large ones, even if you have to wear a mask like at Disney World, effectiveness isn't 100% especially in crowds, people don't wear them correctly, they take them on and off to eat, etc.
