    Great video! Like you said we have so many beautiful places that it's hard to narrow them down to ten. My additional recommendation is not a state park, but is absolutely unforgettable. The Nature Conservancy Blowing Rocks Preserve in Hobe Sound near Jupiter is a must see geyser like experience during high tide. Again thanks for a really good informative video.

    I live in Florida and haven’t been to half of these places. Wow. They are all amazing.

    This was an absolutely beautiful informative video. Even though I've been to Florida many many times I wish I was young again so I could visit some of these places that I have missed. I love Florida ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻👍🏻

      @@FollowMeAway I was watching Shaun from Scotland his latest video on a Florida beach, I believe it was Siesta Key he called it Paradise. So I looked at a few videos of top beaches in Florida when your video came up which was even more interesting. My first time on a Florida beach was in 1975 and it was Sanibel Island. I spent a lot of time in Florida beaches mostly on the East Coast I used to really like the Southeast coast of Florida like Fort Lauderdale Beach I think is really beautiful and I spent a lot of time in the keys snorkeling. I am older now and I can no longer walk on the beach or Swim on a beach unfortunately.

    If I was somehow in charge of Florida, and because I'm into gardening, I would add to the entire State a billion more palm trees and hundreds of millions of more flowering trees and crepe myrtles and flowering bushes. I would just make the entire State far more Lush and tropical looking ❤

      Crape myrtles are not only not native, but are the most overplanted tree in the state. There are TONS of unique native trees to Florida that are so rare people don't even know about them any more. When you are in charge of Florida, plant some of these instead 🙂

    I'm sad that the majority of these amazing parks are in northwest Florida where I rarely visit. I love Blue Springs though as I'm a huge manatee lover.
