Unique Things to Do in Florida

Planning a trip to the Sunshine State?

Look no further! I’ve been living in Florida for a few years now and have dedicated myself to finding the best things to do in Florida.

Florida is a fascinating state with many distinct and unique places to visit. When you think of Florida, most people think of the beach, Miami, and major theme parks.

Well, I am here to tell you that Florida has SO MUCH more to offer, and you will be amazed by some of these hidden gems that most tourists miss out on entirely.

Let’s dive into this exclusive list of the best things to do in Florida from a local!

If you are in a hurry

If you’re just here for a quick grab and go, here are the best things for you to do in Florida!

Here are the main things to book in advance:

Here’s a map of all the best places you’ll be visiting on your trip to Florida!

1. Explore Florida’s beaches

0 Where to Stay in Clearwater Beach

Florida is well known for its beaches. It actually has the longest coastline in the United States (1,197 miles). There are 825 miles of beaches to explore across the state of Florida.

It is also the only state with the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastlines! So within the state, there are two utterly different beach experiences to explore.

No matter where you are in Florida, you are never more than 60 miles away from a beach! So, whether you are in South, Central, or North Florida, there is a beach near you.

Here are some of my favorite beaches:

PRO TIP: If you are looking for a more secluded beach, drive along the coastline near a popular beach and try to find where the locals frequent. I like to look on the map near popular beaches and try to find a lowkey beach that fewer people know about!

Definitely make sure you stop at a Publix and get yourself a Pub Sub (a sub sandwich from Publix that locals swear by) and some drinks and make an impromptu beach picnic!

PRICE: Free

2. Spend time with manatees at Blue Springs State Park

2 Blue Springs State Park kayak tour

Florida has over 700 springs with stunning crystal clear water and beautiful wildlife throughout the state. You will be in the ecological home of otters, different species of birds, alligators, manatees, and stunning vegetation.

Visiting a spring is really an otherworldly experience. After all, the ‘Fountain of Youth’ is located in Florida!

You can book this awesome kayak tour at the State Park to see the wildlife, explore the park, and enjoy the gorgeous crystal clear waters!

My experience at Blue Springs State Park was extraordinary and unforgettable. I went in the winter when all the manatees had migrated to the springhead, and I saw over 600 manatees huddled up together in crystal-clear blue water!

PRO TIP: If you want to see manatees, visit in the winter months. They migrate there because the springs stay at a steady 70 degrees F year-round. However, in the winter, you won’t be able to kayak and swim in crystal clear waters because they are filled with manatees! If you want to kayak through these pristine waters, plan your trip for summer or fall when the spring is open to kayakers.

The park fills up fast, and the lines can be long. To ensure entry, book the tour or make a reservation at 386-775-0046.

PRICE: $100 for the tour and lunch, $6 admission for vehicles of two to eight passengers, $4 for single occupant vehicles, $2 for pedestrians, and see here for cabin rental and camping rates.

3. Take the ferry to Dry Tortugas National Park

3 Dry Tortugas National Park

Dry Tortugas National Park is located West of Key West in the Gulf of Mexico. This park comprises seven islands surrounded by gorgeous coral reefs. If you like to snorkel or scuba dive, this is the perfect place in Florida to do so.

Dry Tortugas is a place that makes you forget you are in the United States. It truly feels like you have escaped to a tropical island in the Caribbean.

This park is also famously known for its population of sea turtles on Loggerhead Key with its famous lighthouse. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, check out Windjammer Wreck, a shipwreck dating back to 1875! During your trip, you should also check out Fort Jefferson, a historic 19th-century Fort built by the Spanish.

Camping is also available at Garden Key, which is only accessible by ferry!

PRO TIP: Dry Tortugas National Park is only accessible by ferry. The ferry leaves from Key West. Be sure to book your reservation ahead if you plan to take a day trip. If you are planning on camping, make sure to plan ahead since the campsite is only accessible by ferry.

NOTE: Plan ahead for this trip and bring everything you need for the day. The ferry is all-inclusive and provides complimentary snorkeling equipment, breakfast snacks, a box lunch, an entrance fee, a fully narrated 45-minute tour of Ft. Jefferson, air conditioning, and a concession stand to buy snacks for the day.

6. Take a walk in Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

6 Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

My first visit to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden was one of the catalysts that made me decide to move to Florida years ago. This tropical oasis whisked me away to another world that I realized I needed to be closer to…

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is truly one of the many wonders of Florida, created by a dedicated world-renowned botanist and famous plant explorer, David Fairchild (1869-1954).

In 1938, Dr. Fairchild and a few other retired botanists opened the doors to the 83-acre botanic garden to the public for the first time. Since then, this stunning botanical garden has brought people from all over the world to see the incredible collection of rare and exotic plants.

Make sure you check out the exotic butterfly exhibit! With hundreds of butterflies from all over the world fluttering about, this is truly an unforgettable experience that the whole family will enjoy.

PRO TIP: This tropical oasis has multiple different habitats and collections that are best explored with a tour guide who can guide you through the rich history and ethnobotany behind the exhibits.  

NOTE: A tour guide is by no means necessary. However, when I went, I had a tour guide, which made all the difference. I got an entirely different experience than I would have had I gone alone. I learned about the plants, where they came from, why they were growing where they were, ethnobotanical uses, and so much more. It’s well worth it.

PRICE: Admission is $24. However, that does not include the tour options. Tour prices change depending on how big the group is.

7. See Everglades National Park

5 best hotels where to stay near Everglades NP

Remember how I said visiting Fairchild Botanic Garden was one of the catalysts that made me move to Florida? Well, here is one of the other ones. The Everglades National Park was truly a moving experience for me. Never would I have expected it to be such an otherworldly and life-altering experience.

The Everglades is a unique ecological subtropical phenomenon that only exists in one place in the world.

You guessed it!

Sunny Florida.

It is known as the world’s slowest-moving river and is home to an incredible amount of biodiversity that is both ancient and unique. With its unique mangrove forests, salt and freshwater wetlands, and flat woods, this is definitely one of the best things to do in Florida!

The Everglades National Park is home to over 200,000 alligators, so you will most likely see these ancient, dinosaur-like creatures in their natural habitat! This is an excellent activity for both solo travelers and families.

Did you know that the Everglades is one of the only places in the world where alligators and crocodiles coexist? To see these crocs up close and personal, try out this amazing Everglades Airboat Tour! You’ll explore the park from top to bottom and finish your day with a BBQ. I took an airboat ride a few times and saw so many, some even came up to the boat!

Looking for a place to stay near Everglades National Park? Check out Where to Stay near Everglades National Park, FL.

HACK: Stick around after the airboat ride and the gator show to meet (and hold!) some baby alligators! Afraid to go in the water? Take a drive through the Everglades on the Tamiami Trail and see the beauty (and alligators) from the safety of your car!

PRICE: $37 for standard entry, $35 for the airboat tour.

8. Explore Anna Maria Island

6 fabulous resorts near the beach Anna Maria Island

If you’re craving adventure, you should definitely go on this parasailing trip on the island! You’ll fly over the waters at a whopping 350 ft and feel the wind beneath your wings.

PRO TIP: Plan your trip during the winter months to get the best weather and experience local culture, like the Anna Maria Island Farmer’s Market!

HACK: Travel Anna Maria Island by bike or on foot. It is a small island, and the traffic tends to get out of hand. You will get the most out of your experience by traveling by foot, but there’s also a free island trolley that will take you around the island!

PRICE: $119

9. Check out Weeki Wachee for a live mermaid show!

9 Weeki Wachee

Weeki Wachee Springs is one of the best-kept secrets of Florida. Sure, there are over 700 springs in Florida with tons of hikes, trails, and kayaking excursions, but Weeki Wachee is the only one with a live mermaid show!

The show is first come, first serve, and from personal experience, it fills up very quickly. Be sure to get there as soon as they open to ensure seats for the show. Mermaid shows are every day from 11 AM to 3 PM.

11. Take a walk around Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

11 Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

If you find yourself staying near Miami, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is an absolute must!

Once known as Villa Vizcaya, the former estate and mansion of James Deering is a peek into what it was like to be an elite in Miami in the early 1900s. For history lovers, the Vizcaya museum is one of the best things to do in Florida.

Initially built in 1916, this picturesque mansion turned museum is truly beautiful. This cultural gem is a National Historic Landmark that I am personally adding to your itinerary for the best things to do in Florida!

Located on Biscayne Bay and surrounded by 10 acres of gardens, this Gilded Age beauty is essentially a Miami Palace of Versailles.

The Kennedy Space Center is one of the leading centers of NASA’s space activities. This includes rocket launches and a plethora of other space-related events.

Located on the Space Coast on Merritt Island, it is also surrounded by one of the most biodiverse areas in Florida.

During your visit, you can meet an astronaut, experience the U.S astronaut hall of fame, and get an up close and personal look into the human exploration of space.

14. Join a bioluminescent kayaking experience

5 Bioluminescent Manialtepec Lagoon

My partner and I went on a bioluminescent kayaking adventure in Titusville on Merritt Island for our anniversary. Everyone should experience this magic!

When most people think of bioluminescence, they think of some island in the tropics. However, did you know we have bioluminescence in Florida?!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you will carry with you forever. This adventure consists of kayaking with a group at dusk. The bioluminescence becomes brighter and clearer as soon as the sun goes down. With each stroke of your paddle, you see a burst of light unfurl in the water.

Fish swimming beneath your kayak leaves a trail of greenish-blue bioluminescence that will leave you breathless. This should definitely be on your list of the best things to do in Florida.

PRO TIP: Make sure you book in advance. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and taught us so much about the biodiversity present in the area. We saw manatees, dolphins, and a pufferfish even came right up next to our kayak! They offer many different nature adventures. See here for more details.

HACK: Make sure the weather is good the day you book. It ended up raining on us a bit on our trip!

NOTE: You will be kayaking in the ocean, so bring your phone or camera at your own risk. Also, remember it’s challenging to capture the bioluminescence in a picture, so make sure you’re soaking it all in or have a special camera with a night lens.

PRICE: $65

15. Stroll around the Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg

As a nature lover and someone who is shamelessly obsessed with plants and ecology, this was a wonderful experience. However, even if you’re not a plant freak like me, this is one of the best things to do in Florida.

Sunken Gardens is one of the oldest tourist attractions in all of America. Dating back over 100 years, this garden is home to over 50,000 different tropical and exotic plants. The Sunken Gardens are known as St. Pete’s oldest living museum.

This is one of the most unique things to do in Florida as it is literally a ‘sunken garden’ that’s entirely below sea level!

Meander through the winding paths and waterfalls, and check out some incredible tropical plants on four acres that have literally sunken into place over 100 years! This is great for solo travelers, romantic getaways, and family excursions!

Ahh, Miami Beach. This is another place that sealed the deal for me when it came to moving to Florida. I could not believe this tropical oasis was in the US! Every time I go, it’s always a blast.

Let’s face it, Miami Beach is one of the first things that comes to mind when you think of Florida. Extravagant designer cars, mansions, gorgeous beaches, South Beach, drinks on the beach, you name it. Home to many TV shows, movies, and just bursting with rich culture and history, Miami beach is always a blast.

Here are some of the best things to do:

PRO TIP: If you are visiting Miami, I recommend staying on Miami Beach. It is the most walking-friendly part of Miami, and getting around is a breeze.

Most people know about Florida’s gorgeous white sand beaches. Still, most people don’t know about the enchanting forests and springs located in the center of the state.

Nestled between the Atlantic and the Gulf Coast, Ocala National Forest is one of Florida’s most incredible State parks.

Saw palmettos, massive oak trees, Florida wildflowers, manatees, alligators, ibis, and herons. This forest is rich in biodiversity you’ve never seen before. When I visited Ocala National Forest, I rode horseback through the forest, which was an extraordinary experience!

HACK: Level up your experience in Ocala and stay at the Enchanted Oaks Farm.

22. Take a boat to Crab Island

At the beginning of this article, I mentioned Destin as one of the best beaches in all of Florida. Crab Island is right offshore on Destin Beach on a giant sandbar.

This is a super fun place to hang out, anchor your boat, grab a floatie, or just hang out in the gorgeous shallows. Hanging out in a sand bar has very typical Florida-laidback vibes, not to mention it’s a really fun experience!

The sandbar even has floating restaurants where you can grab a drink while you’re enjoying the beautiful turquoise shallows under the sun.
