The Florida Caverns State Park is situated in the famous Florida Panhandle near Marianna in Jackson County. Part of the official Florida State Parks system, it is the only state park in Florida that has air-filled caves that are open to the public. Here you can take an educational cave tour and can see the flowstones, stalagmites, stalactites, and draperies found beneath the surface.
Not a fan of caves? No worries here. There’s also full hookup camping, hiking trails, places to swim, and more.
The Venetian Pool is a historic and unique public swimming pool found in Coral Gables. Designed by Denman Fink and Phineas Paist, it was once nothing more but an old, hidden, abandoned, four-acre coral rock quarry. It was opened in 1924 and was originally named the Venetian Casino.
Today it is the United States’ biggest freshwater pool. The pool is emptied and refilled every day. Here amidst the scenic porticos and palm trees you can swim and splash in the grottos and waterfalls. Check the official Coral Gables website for its availability.
