A Capital, Historic Gems & Award-Winning Beaches Search {Map} at VISITFLORIDA.com Northwest In Pensacola, it’s eyes to the sky for the world-famous Blue Angels’ jaw-dropping performances, then a dive to the sunken USS Oriskany, the world’s largest artificial reef. Downtown, Palafox Street offers a quaint historic district with boutique shopping, dining and entertainment. A short drive east brings you to Destin, the “world’s luckiest fishing village.” Reel in a big catch on a deep-sea fishing charter, or make a big splash at Big Kahuna’s Water & Adventure Park. For non-stop entertainment, keep heading east to Panama City Beach. Feast at fine waterfront restaurants or head to Pier Park for entertainment and shopping. Pier Park, Panama City Beach North Central In the state capital of Tallahassee, the 22-story Capitol building takes center stage (and offers tours!) In historic downtown. An emerging restaurant and craft brewery scene complements the live entertainment at Cascades Park. Just south, Wakulla Springs is a must-visit for swimming, diving and snorkeling in cool, crystal-clear waters. Northwest of Gainesville, the real “fountains of youth” include Ginnie Springs and Ichetucknee Springs State Park. Then go for a history lesson in Lake City at the Olustee Battlefield and Museum, or tour an old Seminole village in Osceola National Forest, followed by camping, fishing, or even horse riding on the park’s trails. St. Augustine Northeast In Jacksonville, follow the Jax Ale Trail for the ultimate beer experience, including a tour of one of Budweiser’s six public breweries. On the coast, Ponte Vedra Beach, home of THE PLAYERS Championship, beckons golfers to TPC Sawgrass for world-famous links. While there, take to the luxury beach resorts for an up-close look at the 40-foot sand dunes, some of the largest in Florida. Mix history with what’s trending in the “nation’s oldest city,” St. Augustine.
