Rustic Charm for Romantics

Close to the Georgia border, north-central Florida is the state’s least-known area and also among its most affordable. Yet it holds a number of treasures:

Inland, Tallahassee’s Civil War-era plantations and Gainesville’s Historic District both vigilantly preserve the past.

On the Gulf shore, unblemished beaches, hidden coves, and mysterious bayous hug the Nature Coast.

And if you like oysters, detour to Apalachicola. More than 90 percent of the state's annual harvest emerges from its bay — and you won’t fine fresher seafood anywhere.
