Seven Wonders in
Florida You Shouldn't Miss
Florida is blessed with
naturally beautiful sceneries. Millions of people from
around the world wanted to partake the kind of amazement
that the place offers that is why any day of the year
Florida is full of travelers, tourists and vacationers.
Others simply want to spend their holidays with their family
in one of the pristine beaches while others want to
experience unique adventure. To give you a better idea about
the natural beauty of Florida, here is the seven wonders you
shouldn't miss;
#1. Overseas Highway -
oftentimes called as the "Highway that Goes to the Sea."
Being the southernmost leg of the Highway 1, it belongs to
the modern wonders of the world. It was originally a railway
but had to close because of too many damages brought by 1935
hurricane. In late 1930s, the construction of the highway
was started to compensate the loss of a railway. Today,
Overseas Highway connects Miami to the southernmost point of
the continental US.
#2. Bok Tower - this is
the legacy of Edward Bok which stands tall being the highest
elevation in the Central Florida area. Tourists and
travelers who want to learn more about Edward Bok can find
more memorabilia near the entrance of the tower called Bok
Sanctuary. Any shots taken from this tower are naturally
magnificent.
#3. Coral Reefs in
Florida - the place is known to have extensively shallow
coral reef formation near its coasts. Aside from being a
good habitat for marine life, the coral reefs also provide
spectacular views from the surface to please tourists and
visitors of the place. One of the good things is that,
anybody can scuba dive into the abyss and witness the living
corals at a closer distance.
#4. JFK Space Center - it
was from the soil of Florida that the first man to ever step
on the moon was sent from. Named after the 35th President of
the United States, John F. Kennedy never stopped fulfilling
its vision to discover what goes beyond our world. If you
are more of a science geek yourself, this can be a great
place to be while you are on vacation.
#5. Historic St.
Augustine - what does it take to be the nation's oldest
city? First, a place should be able to preserve its history
and legacy for almost 5 centuries. No place has ever done so
except St. Augustine, Florida. This place can offer you
spectacular views of big ancient architectural designs which
you can never find anywhere else in the world.
#6. Skyway Bridge - this
is considered one of the best architectural wonders in the
new millennium. Located in the southern area of St.
Petersburg, it is the third bridge to connect St. Petersburg
to Bradenton. The cables along the bridge resemble an
inverted fan and are colored yellow to give honor to the
Sunshine State.
#7. Everglades - this is
the only American sub-tropical wilderness. Only a few dare
to go here thinking that they can never find something
beautiful. But the place itself, the wilderness is a
beautiful place to be.
These are just seven
among the natural wonders of Florida, discover more by
visiting the place itself.
