Hello Tom, I read some good advise fronm previous answers but at the end it depends on what you prefer , but I agree with Neil and Emily the beauty and unique of Florida are the Everglades.... the canoing in marvelous tropical and lush vegetation,our fantastic beaches but I higly recommend to get a guide in order to canoe.
The beach in the North are fantastic in the Pandhandle area, absolutely beautiful.
South Beach is fun and should not be missed but again you must love dancing, bars, out doors cafes and a lot of loud music and people watching.
I live in Miami Beach and I love the nature Florida has to offer and also I like South Beach, what I personally do not like against a lot of recommendations is to go to Key West, the road is beautiful butonce there there are no acceptable beaches at all, and once there although there are some quaint buildings there are too much commercialism, too many t shirts shops, to much drinking, to much people walking the streets looking like foolish tourists, well I think that is what it means to me...so it depends on you and what you like, good luck.

I agree with the earlier post about the Inlet Harbour restaurant on Ponce Inlet. While vacationing last summer in Daytona, we ate at the Inlet Harbour on our last night in town. It was the best meal we had the whole week. The food was fabulous and the scenery was very festive! Before we ate we walked the 203 steps to the top of the Ponce Inlet lighthouse. What a view!!!
