Unplug and Unwind at These National Parks in South Florida

July 24, 2014 by

Everything is more fun in the sun, which makes these two national parks in Florida excellent travel destinations. One of them comprises seven small islands far off the coast, while the other protects a delicate ecosystem and provides a variety of leisurely activities.

Dry Tortugas National Park
Dry Tortugas National Park lies approximately 70 miles off the coast of Key West. It consists of seven small islands and the clear blue waters surrounding them. The park's main attraction is Fort Jefferson, which is the largest masonry structure in the Americas. Dry Tortugas is only accessible by boat and plane, but offers a wide variety of activities like camping, canoeing, and guided tours. You can also take guided fishing or snorkeling trips from one of the local vendors.

Everglades National Park
Everglades National Park is the third largest National Park in the contiguous United States. It is located in southern Florida and was the first national park to protect an ecosystem, rather than to preserve geographic features. Guests can look for some of the endangered wildlife like alligators and Florida panthers while on an airboat tour, or take part in traditional activities like camping, fishing, and hiking.

Gulfstream Park: By the Sea in Boynton Beach

July 3, 2014 by

Florida has no shortage of beachfront real estate, but one of the all-around best places to enjoy the ocean in Boynton Beach is at Gulfstream Park. This 6 acre public park offers a wide range of activities to keep visitors busy. 600 feet of beach frontage is monitored by lifeguards, making it popular for families and swimmers.

Outside of the guarded swimming areas, fishermen and surfers ply their trade on the comfortable waves. There’s also a lot of green space to enjoy, including a picnic area with BBQ grills and a playground for the little ones. One thing to know before you head out is that the parking lot is quite small and it’s a bit of a hike to the beach, so if you don’t show up early enough you might not be able to get a parking spot. Regulars like that the beach is less crowded as a result, though.
