Top Natural Wonders in Florida

Florida is so much more than just fantastic weather. Okay, so it is this as well, but it is also a place that is home to more than its fair share of dazzling natural wonders. There are unique landscapes too. In this blog post, we are going to be celebrating some of the finest out there. This way, you can plan a super adventure to the Sunshine State.

Crystal Clear Springs

We certainly couldn’t discuss the scenery in Florida without talking about the more than 700 natural freshwater springs in the state. Just a couple of the unforgettable experiences that you can enjoy include observing a manatee refuge at Blue Spring State Park. You can also see the 10,000-year-old historic spring at Rainbow Springs State Park. Wherever you go, you are bound to be able to enjoy some dazzling natural beauty.

Brightly Coloured Reefs

The only living reef and the third-largest one in the world is found in Florida. Here, you can enjoy some of the most incredible snorkelling in the entire country. Take your time to enjoy the colourful scenery of this underwater paradise. If you are not a fan of the open water, planning a trip to the Florida Aquarium in Tampa could be the perfect solution.

Luscious Lakes

Florida is packed with hundreds of lakes which people flock to during the summer months. If you are looking for something a little different than the usual, why not visit the coastal dune lakes in South Walton? This is a natural wonder quite unlike anything else in the state.

Fabulous National Parks

Each of Florida’s national parks could easily feature in their own section, but we only have a limited number of words to work with! The Everglades and Dry Tortugas feature high up on the list of the state’s most impressive natural areas. The former ranks third in terms of area and covers an incredible 1.5 million acres. Meanwhile, the latter is one of the most remote in the world and is therefore perfect for real adventure seekers.

Caves of Wonder

There is so much more going on in Florida than what meets the eye. Look beneath the surface and you can explore the state’s network of sinkholes, air-filled caverns, and underwater cave systems. Florida Caverns State Park is a great place to go to start off with. However, there are plenty of ancient rock formations to be found at places like Devil’s Den.

World-Class Beaches

Last but not least, for the times when you simply want to sit back and soak up some rays (you are in the Sunshine State after all) there are more than enough world-class beaches to choose from. For those looking for partying and good times, South Beach and Fort Lauderdale Beach are both good options. However, if you are looking for some which are a little more secluded, take a look at Perdido Key and Santa Rosa Beach.
