- Chipley
Flickr/Olin Gilbert This stunning photo of Blue Lake in Chipley proves we actually do have some fall foliage in Florida.
- St. Johns
Flickr/Mark Smith How gorgeous is this dock on Julington Creek? Swoon.
- DeBary
Flickr/Daniel Piraino DeBary offers the perfect view some of the wildlife on the St. Johns River.
- Lake Butler

- Venice
Flickr/Rick Schwartz The Venice Pier is cool, but that Florida sky really steals the show, don’t you agree?
- Miramar
Flickr/Kenneth Cole Schneider
Flickr/Kenneth Cole Schneider Miramar has some incredibly stunning wetlands, as these amazing photos on Lake Harbour show.
- Bradenton Beach
Flickr/Rick Schwartz Just try to find a view as gorgeous as the Gulf of Mexico seen from Sunset Park.
- Dunnellon
Flickr/Josh Johnson Everyone associates Florida with our beaches, but you have to visit our crystal clear springs, like Gissy Springs seen here.
- Grayton Beach
Flickr/JR P Grayton Beach has been voted one of America’s best beaches and is home to a charming artist colony as well.
- Seaside
Flickr/JR P Seaside is a master-planned community in Walton County. It has a very uniform and perfect look, but is also quite charming nonetheless. You might recognize it from the 1998 film The Truman Show.
- Destin
Flickr/Brian Moen Destin also has some of Florida’s most prized beaches. This Emerald Coast city offers jaw dropping views of the Gulf of Mexico and pristine white beaches.
- Gainesville
Flickr/Anthony Rue This view of Payne’s Prairie State Park should make you give this college town a second look. Nearby Micanopy is full of historic charm as well.
- Miami
Flickr/Blue Skyz Studios Even our big cities are downright gorgeous.
- Rosemary Beach
Flickr/JR P Rosemary Beach is another planned community near Seaside.
- St. Marks
Colin Hackley via Flickr/VISIT FLORIDA Editor This is just one of our many historic and iconic lighthouses, and yet another reason to love Florida.
- Tampa
Flickr/Dennis Ramos This view of the rocky coast bathed in an orange glow at Cypress Point Park reveals a side of Florida not everyone knows exists.
