Florida Off the Beaten Path(r): A Guide to Unique Places

This guide is well written and organized. Not only does it give insite into little known areas not to miss, it also lists other attractions in the same area and gives a list of events and the month they are held with contact info! I highly recommend this guide.

Living in North Florida I'm interested in some of the less commercial places to visit in the state. This book does a nice job of giving you ideas. The state park sysem is heavily featured as it should be. The Florida state park system has many excellant parks. If you are looking for shopping and entertainment this is not the book you want. This book features more 'do it yourself' places. If you like the outdoors and want to get off the interstate bring this book with you.

This is the second book that I have purchased in this series. I previous had the 1993 edition but while planning a trip to Tallahassee-St Marks recently, I realized that the area codes had changed and a recommended restaurant (Posey's) washed away in a hurricane a few years ago. The short coming of this book is that it's too small.

We have OTBP books for many of the states. If you want to experience the unusual, this book is it. Maybe it's a funky place to dine or a place to get to know the locals. There's a great deal to explore Off the Beaten Path.

This book is almost as good as a similar book on "out of the way" Florida places. I was raised in Fla. and have discovered some places that I had never heard of.
