I love that there was no video of Disney World, Universal Studios, etc. These are the places so many visitors focus on and they miss out on the many cool places like Cedar Key. I’m a native Floridian and I’ve seen almost every square mile of the state. It’s got so many wild contrasts and something for everyone. And, yes, it has hills. And mosquitoes.

Florida has the best beaches in America no doubt about it.

That's really no secret to long time Floridians. Can call it out in the boondocks or whatever else, but it's a type of Old Florida that's increasing, not disappearing, and it's not charming like anything vintage Old Florida. On the other hand nobody wants to buy it all and change it ALL. Because of what kind of climates, including subtropical and tropical in Florida, nature fights harder to take it all back,

The amount of mobile homes in this country is mind blowing…

Personally, in the past 25 years I’ve preferred the redneck riviera from Pensacola to Panama City Beach. People are the friendliest and real down to earth in that part of Fla. and it’s irresistible driving down through the Keys on A1A. You should make a video in the Everglades too.

You forgot the middle class families paying super high HOA fees to live in normal houses.

As a second gen Floridian it’s best described as a state of pockets. Pockets of wealth, one block down is a crack den, next block is a major shopping area! Busy melting pot cities with so much to do, and run down places you’ve never heard of. I always loved traveling to Sebring as a kid, so quiet, so safe, I remember one day a dog and chicken walked me home and an old lady offered me pie. It was always a nice break from the busy city life I was from!

Florida. The only state where the further north you go, the more south you get.

I wouldn't trade Florida for any other area/state (except for maybe Tennessee 😊). I've been here since 1976 because at the time, my husband and I were tired of making the car trip down to Florida to visit relatives and spend days at Disney every year. We decided to purchase a home, and then relocate to a new city (at the time) called Coral Springs, Florida.

You missed St. Augustine which is the oldest city in the US and the historic Spanish city from the 1500s

I sure enjoyed this. Thanks so much, Nick!

Thank you for sharing your travels over the last few months/years. I really enjoy your channel. Ty

Cool I was stationed in Mayport Florida when I was in the Navy.

Pity you didn't get to see Fort Myers Beach or Lovers Key State Park. I grew up there for 20+ years, unfortunately it was completely devastated by Hurricane Ian. The gulf coast is beautiful. Next time you go I recommend these: Venice Beach Sanibel Island ( If it recovers from Ian ) Captiva ( If it recovers from Ian ) I'm glad you got to see Turtle Beach down by Siesta Key; same gorgeous water, just a different type of sand. Central Florida is full of rural farm towns and tons of orange groves. You can get lost out there driving - in a good way though. I no longer live in Florida but I miss it every day.

Great rainbow shot in Daytona Beach. I have a soft spot for Daytona Beach and St. Augustine as well. Florida is cool but only for a limited time- I think I would go crazy out there if I was to make it a home all year.

Nice video, I have only been to Panama City once, however I visited the Atlantic Coast over 1000 times literally. If you make it to Florida again, check out the beaches (the ones where the waves break :) ) from West Palm to around Ft Pierce to the north. Hutchinson Island is really awesome.

2:25 Holy crap! A real Liberty City!

Great tour

Next time Nick, hit me up. The best beaches are the one you can get to only by boat. I go out Clearwater Pass and head north or south. There's plenty of islands out there with no one on them during week days. Beautiful beaches and sunsets.

Excellent footage

What a super duper vid, wow, thnx!

That view at dockside watching the fishers at the pier and the water in general is my my favorite view in Florida. The people are so sweet there too. Did you see any dolohins? The birds are cool too.
