South Florida Travel

Florida is one of the largest and most diverse regions of the United States, encompassing several distinct climates and time zones. South Florida is our home — which explains the wealth of posts you’ll find on travel toNaples, Marco Island, and Southwest Florida— the Gulf coast of Florida known as theParadise Coast.

But head west toward Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, or even further south to Key West and the Florida Keys, and you’ll quickly see the amazing diversity in South Florida’s landscapes, people, culture, and oh, the food.

And be sure and check out ourFirst Timers Guide to Key Westif you’re heading to the Florida Keys!

Central Florida Travel

Central Florida is where you’ll find some of the most breathtaking natural places in the state, or even the entire United States. Yes, it’s home to Orlando, but slow traveling nature lovers should skip the amusements and head straight for the west central coast at Homosassa and Crystal River toswim with manateesand explore the many crystal blue natural caves and springs sprinkled throughout the region.

North Florida Travel

The Sunshine State of Florida is one of the largest and most diverse regions of the United States, encompassing several distinct climates and time zones. North Florida includes the wild and gorgeous panhandle with some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. The north coastal Florida beaches are known as theEmerald Coastfor a very good reason.

Further east toward the state capital city of Tallahassee, the southern US forests blur the lines between Georgia and Florida, and the state’s early Spanish culture is everywhere, from Tallahassee to the Spanish jewel of St. Augustine.

Wherever we go, we always have a beaten up guidebook, local phrasebook, and weatherproof map in our backpacks. Plus, a souvenir book by Florida landscape photographer Clyde Butcher is always a good idea!
