SURPRISING LITTLE DELIGHTS

Whether it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction or a breakfast spot frequented only by locals, Florida is
dotted with surprising little delights that yield big memories. Here are some of the state’s notto-miss experiences.

 

SOUTHEAST
It’s called the No Name Pub, and this quirky eatery might also be the hardest to find— it lies off US Highway 1 at mile marker 30.5 bayside, down the winding road in a settlement known as No Name Key. However, its out-of-the-way location doesn’t keep people from discovering the local landmark’s world-class pizza and ramshackle decor.

At mile marker 50.5 bayside, Crane Point Museum and Nature Center features the Museum of Natural History of the Florida Keys, the Marathon Wild Bird Center and the historic Adderley House. Take time to wander along interpretive nature trails and seek out endangered native foliage, unusual geologic features, exotic vegetation and ancient ocean fossils. Unexpected discoveries await you in Key West, too. Among them is the historic, neverused Civil War-era fort called West Martello Tower, overlooking the Atlantic. It’s now headquarters for the Key West Garden Club, where beautiful indigenous plants and rare palm trees bloom against the weathered brick fort. From café Cubano to Peruvian ceviche and authentic Italian gelato, Miami Culinary Tours are about tasting delicious and authentic cuisine around this city’s historic neighborhoods. Tasting tours include the South Beach Food Tour, Little Havana Food Tour and Wynwood Food Tour. Water taxi tickets let you hop on and off all day along Fort Lauderdale’s world-famous waterways, for which the city is nicknamed “The
Venice of America.”
