Tallahassee Automobile Museum, Tallahassee, FL:

This place deserves a look under the hood. Among the 160+ rare and historic automobiles are a 1931 Duesenberg Model J Double Cowl Phaeton Convertible, muscle cars, and multiple Batmobiles that have appeared in films. Under the same roof are eclectic collections of knives, grand pianos, dolls, fishing lures, boats, sports memorabilia and other items.

Swamp Walk, Ochopee, FL:

Few things get closer to the ecological soul of South Florida than a walk in the Big Cypress National Preserve. Behind photographer Clyde Butcher’s gallery, tour guides lead groups to see the landscapes, orchids, rare ferns, and native wildlife that figure prominently in his iconic images. And don’t worry – the gators are not interested in you.

Third Street South, Naples, FL:

The place where Naples got its start in the 1880s is now the city’s chicest place to shop. Visitors can enjoy sophisticated retail establishments and smart bistros with world-class wine lists, all surrounded by lush landscaping and lovely historic homes. Don’t miss Naples’ original farmers market, still going strong, on Saturday mornings.

Robert is Here, Homestead, FL:

What started as a small fruit stand on the side of the road has ripened into a one-of-a-kind foodie destination for visitors and locals alike. Check out the wide array of rare and exotic fruits and veggies, then enjoy the animal farm, play area, picnic area, and live music on weekends and holidays.

Golf, Golden Isles, GA: Sun, sand, sea, and a set of clubs. For more than 100 years, the mainland and sea islands of southeastern Georgia have been home to some of the nation’s most scenic and celebrated golf courses. And with 189 holes in all, there’s something for competitors, casual duffers, and all levels in between.
