Things to Do in Northern Florida in 2026

A view of the karst window from inside the Devil's Den Spring. The cave has an underwater spring that stays at 72 degrees year round. You can snorkel or scuba dive inside. So far this has been my favorite experience in Florida!

The Pearl Hotel in beautiful Rosemary Beach, FL. Walking along the cobblestone streets you almost feel like you are in a European city. But the Gulf of Mexico is only steps away! #30a #rosemarybeach #florida #architecture

One of the famous glass bottom boats in Silver Springs State Park (Ocala, FL) floats by on the crystal clear water of the Silver River. If you visit Silver Springs, you must take one of these boat rides. In addition to seeing the underwater springs, we also saw manatees, alligators, turtles, monkeys, and birds on our 90 minute tour. #silversprings #florida

You will not find many waterfalls in Florida. I discovered Falling Creek Falls early one morning near Lake City. Take a quick detour from I-10 to see a root-beer-colored cascade, which plummets more than 10 feet over a deep lip of limestone and flows away over limestone boulders at the bottom of a ravine. Falling Creek Falls was the site of the first settlement in this area, and a short boardwalk trail offers easy access to this scenic view.
