Getaways to the authentic Florida
Fort Lauderdale’s Rustic Inn is a classic. Their “world famous garlic crabs” draw hundreds of people every night to this old Florida restaurant, tucked away on Ravenswood Road, just west of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. You’ll find it from the sound of wooden mallets pounding on the table every few minutes.
Boat camping is a great way to scoot away from civilization to some wild and remote places.
Howley’s Diner has been there for 60 years. It’s not just retro, this West Palm Beach diner is the real deal — from its terrazzo floors to its tin ceiling.
Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park, near Everglades City, is the biggest state park in Florida. It’s a vast, wild place with miles of trails where you walk through lush cypress swamp full of orchids and have opportunities to see wildlife, including the Florida panther.
