Mini Golf with Live Gators at
Smuggler’s Cove
3815 N. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota,
(941) 351-6620 • Smugglersgolf.com
This mini golf at Smuggler’s Cove is not your
standard mini golf set up. Throughout the facility
you’ll find live gators within habitats around each
turn. This concept brings new meaning to the
expression, “challenging game.”
World’s Largest
Shuffleboard Courts
559 Mirror Lake Drive North, St Petersburg
(727) 822-2083
Whether you are 20 or 80, the World’s Largest
Shuffleboard Courts are an absolute must see.
These well lit shuffleboards span for what seems
like miles. Not only will you and your friends have
a blast, but you also learn the history of the
legends inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Siesta Key Public Beach
It’s just a quick jaunt from downtown Sarasota.
The beaches are white and beautiful with
sugar fine sand. They’re wide too, which
helps to accommodate the people. This is a
popular beach. This is probably the cleanest
beach in the area and it’s protected by
lifeguards and equipped with restrooms and
snack bar. Siesta Village is close by where
you can enjoy some great restaurants and
beach attire is ok.
Lynn Hall Memorial Park,
Ft. Myers Beach
Daytona is often thought of nationally as The
Party Beach, but we suggest you visit Fort
Meyers Beach instead. If you are looking for
a party and want to do a little mingling, this
is the spot. Lots of beach bars, tourists, dives
and hotel accommodations.
Crescent Beach, Siesta Key
Located on Siesta Key in an area called Pointof-Rocks.
If you like to snorkel, you will enjoy
this beach immensely. It’s shallow with lots of
flat rock and the fish like to feed here. It’s not
very crowded and many don’t know about
this wonderful gem. Its major drawback is a
lack of parking.
Manatee County Public Beach
Located west of the City of Bradenton, off
Manatee Ave. This is such a great family
beach. The sand is white and the water is
clean, calm and shallow. There are life guards
on duty, restrooms, showers, a pier for fishing,
picnic area, cafe and even a gift shop.
French Café Themed McDonald’s
7344 Sand Lake Rd, Orlando, FL,
(407) 264-0050
If you love McDonald’s, you must see these
French themed McDonald’s restaurants. Each
menu option boasts a French aspect such as
Le Big Mac. These more upscale versions of the
franchise also provide non traditional options.
These options include portobello eggplant and
blackened grouper.
Blind Pass Beach, Sanibel
This beach is great for a little get-a-way. Rent
one of the small cottages and take yourself
and a loved one away for the weekend. This
beach resort offers many restaurants.
Smathers Beach in Key West
A fun beach with plenty to do. If you are the
active type you will be in heaven. There are
rentals for jet skies and rafts, parasailing, and
windsurfing. The water is much too calm for
surfing, so there’s no need to lug your board
here, but the snorkeling is great and there is
a designated swim zone. It’s the longest and
one of the best known beaches in Key West.
