Beaches
Our most favorite beach only 1hr and 30 minutes away- best beach for shell collecting! Not to mention the sunsets. If you visit here we recommend Frenchys to eat and it's right on the beach (we also find this is the best spot to park (paid parking). We also are obsessed with the polish restaurant that we go to on our way home called Pierogi Grill.

About an hour away. Spiritualist camp- many mediums, psychics and sight seeing. The orb tour on Saturday nights is really fun and the restaurant in hotel has karaoke Saturday nights. Very small town with 4-5 shops for metaphysical items.

If you have some time to travel a bit Mount Dora is such a cute town, many shops and every kind of cuisine you can think of. Check them out on google for any fairs they may be having. Nice water experiences such as sunset tours, cat boat rental and kayaking. For those who love antiques you must check on Rennigers Flea Market! (usually open on weekends)

Just under an hour away and a truly beautiful garden with an amazing old clock tower that still plays! They also have a great cafe and the food never disappoints. The kids play ground is like no other and encourages creativity. Don't forget to stop by Spook Hill. Spook Hill is a gravity hill, an optical illusion where cars appear to roll up the spooky hill !! We honestly go here every week and they have a great gift shop where you can also buy the plants you see in the garden- which overtime you will see during your stay in our home!
