Exploring the Culture, Coasts, and Hidden Corners of Florida
Florida has an acoustic map. From Pensacola jets and St. Augustine cannon fire to Bok Tower bells, rocket launches, Everglades choruses, and underwater reef sound, these eight places reveal a state you can hear as well as see.
Florida farms turn food into travel: pick strawberries, blueberries, citrus and tropical fruit, then taste the state at the source.
Pensacola keeps changing identities: historic downtown, naval aviation, working waterfront, white-sand beach and Gulf Islands.
Winter Park works best when you stop optimizing: Park Avenue, Central Park, art, Rollins, lakes, a boat tour and time to wander.
Jacksonville is easier to understand when you follow the St. Johns from downtown and Riverside to working Mayport and the ferry.
Park once and let Tampa keep changing: Riverwalk, streetcar, Channelside, Ybor City and an optional water-taxi finish.
Miami has a second opening time. Start at sunset and let Ocean Drive, Metromover, Brickell, Calle Ocho, Wynwood and Biscayne Bay take over.
Spend a Fort Lauderdale day using waterways instead of traffic: Water Taxi, Riverwalk, Las Olas, beach, food and the city after dark.
Cool off the Florida way with tubing, snorkeling, scalloping and spring swimming built around some of the state's best summer water.
Before air conditioning, Florida buildings had to work with heat. Porches, breezeways, courtyards and shade tell the story.
