@americantravelarchives: It absolutely kills me when people visit Florida and miss every single one of these places. ⠀ Follow americantravelarchives for more hidden gems and bucket list adventures across the U.S. ⠀ 📍 Florida ⠀ Florida is so much more than beaches and theme parks. These are 9 of the most overlooked spots in the state, and every single one of them deserves its own trip. ⠀ 💧 Three Sisters Springs, Crystal River: crystal clear water, manatees, and one of the most surreal swimming experiences in the country 🏛 Henry B. Plant Museum, Tampa: a Gilded Age palace hiding inside a university campus that most Floridians have never even stepped inside 🌿 Hillsborough River State Park: Florida’s oldest state park, with cypress swamps, suspension bridges, and actual rapids ⛲ Bok Tower Gardens, Lake Wales: a 1920s carillon tower rising out of the center of the state that barely anyone knows exists 🌊 Wakulla Springs: one of the world’s largest freshwater springs, still somehow under the radar 🎨 Morse Museum, Winter Park: the world’s largest collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany art, tucked inside a tiny downtown museum 🏘 Rosemary Beach: the most European-looking stretch of the Florida Panhandle 🤍 Alys Beach: white-walled architecture and empty streets on one of the most beautiful coastlines in the south ⚓ Tarpon Springs: a Greek fishing village on the Gulf Coast that feels nothing like the rest of Florida ⠀ Pro Tip: Half of these can be linked into a single road trip. Spring and fall are the sweet spot to beat the heat and the summer crowds. ⠀ Tag someone who thinks they’ve already seen all of Florida.
