Top Parks in Florida

If you're into fishing, bring your gear! I spotted many people catching fish right from the shore, so it's a fun option if you have the time.

I highly recommend arriving before 10 AM to snag a good parking spot and get that morning beach vibe. It fills up fast trust me!

My advice is to pack your own snacks. The food options are a bit pricey, and you can save a ton just by bringing your own cooler.

I think it's worth checking the events calendar before you go. We stumbled upon a cool event that made our visit extra special, but I wish we’d planned for it!

If you're like me and love to chill on the beach, try to get there by 9 AM to snag a good spot. The later it gets, the harder it is to find a nice little nook!

If you're into photography, come just before sunset. The colors are stunning and there's less glare. I wish I had known this trick earlier; my photos would have been so much better.

My advice is to bring snacks and drinks with you. There's not much nearby, and trust me, you'll want to stay hydrated while lounging by the water

If you're into swans, definitely grab some bread to feed them. I regret not bringing any and seeing everyone else having a blast with the birds!

I recommend visiting in the early morning around 8 AM. It’s so peaceful, and you'll catch some great sunrise photos without the crowd.

i think it's a good idea to check the local event calendar before your visit. the park often hosts free music or festivals, and it makes the experience feel extra special.

My advice is to download a parking app before arriving. Street parking can get tricky, and you might save time and money looking for a spot

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The concession stand prices are kinda high, and you can save a lot by packing some sandwiches and drinks from home.

If you plan to bike, rent one from a nearby shop instead of the park. It’s usually cheaper and you get a better selection.

I recommend going early in the morning around 8 AM to beat the heat and the crowds. You'll get a quieter experience and can explore the trails at your own pace.

Check out the beach area. It's super chill and great for a picnic. Just remember to bring a towel because I didn't and ended up sitting on the sand!

I really enjoyed kayaking on the river, but I suggest you rent a kayak early in the day to avoid lines. The rental opens at 9 AM, and it gets busy really fast

Make sure to pack a cooler with snacks and water. There aren’t many places to grab food, and it's way cheaper than buying stuff in the park.

If you're into biking, I recommend bringing your own bike. The trails are awesome, plus rental bikes can be pricey and sometimes they're not in the best shape.

Check out the local art installations along the way. They kinda popped up unexpectedly for me, but it really added a nice touch to the whole vibe.
