5 Florida Getaways For Summer

Devil's Den

I have seen so many photos and videos of this place, yet I still have not been. What a lovely oasis this appears to be in the center of the state. The beaches aren't the only great bodies of water to discover in Florida. The springs are as well.

Crystal River

I love this area of the state. It's the definition of Old Florida. Crystal River and the surrounding area has some unique places to discover. Springs, manatees, mermaids...yes mermaids and they are amazing at Homosassa Springs.

Zip Lining

Contrary to popular belief, not all of Florida is flat. I did some zip lining in Tallahassee, but it didn't look as intense as this does. Yes, ziplining in Ocala is a thing to check out.

Sarasota Hidden Gem

There are lots of fun places to visit in Sarasota. I love Selby Gardens, and you can't forget the Ringling Museum. Then there are the beaches with the soft, cool, quartz sand. I've never heard of this place, but it looks like a fun stop.

Four Fun Florida Finds

I always enjoy a good compilation video. This is one of them. It covers a lot of ground in Florida from the Panhandle to Jupiter on the east coast and two places in between. I love the diversity of Florida and all of the beautiful places it has to offer.
