Spanish Governors Palace

Bass Museum of Art
The best art museum in Miami Beach has a playfully futuristic facade, a crisp interplay of lines and bright, white wall space – like an Orthodox church on a space-age Greek isle. All designed, by the way, in 1930 by Russell Pancoast (grandson of John A Collins, who lent his name to

Southfork Ranch
Who shot JR? Locals certainly no longer care (the TV drama Dallas was cancelled in 1992), but that doesnt stop interstate and international visitors from driving 20 miles north from Dallas to Southfork Ranch . If you are expecting to see Miss Ellies kitchen or JRs bedroom, dont. Th

Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace
Scheduled to re-open in 2016 after restoration work, this National Historic Site is a bit of a cheat, since the physical house where the 26th president was actually born was demolished in his own lifetime. But this building is a worthy reconstruction by his relatives, who joined it

Fulton Mansion State Historical Park
This imposing 1870s mansion comes as a surprise amid other more modern – and modest – shorefront buildings. It was built by George Fulton, who was clever with the design. On the outside, it looks like an imposing French Second Empire creation, right down to the mansard roofs. Insi

Hells Bay
The real joy of the Everglades is canoeing into the bracken heart of the swamp. There are plenty of push-off points, all with names that sound like they were read off Frodos map to Mordor, including Hells Bay our favorite. Hell to get into and hell to get out of, was how this shelt

Morning Glory Pool
A steamy favorite that’s well worth the walk, beautiful Morning Glory Pool is named after its flower shape. Unfortunately, the pool is slowly changing temperature and, therefore, color, due to the tons of trash thrown into the pool by past visitors (the main access road to Old Fait

Nakalele Blowhole
The Nakalele Blowhole roars when the surf is up but is a sleeper when the seas are calm. To check on its mood, park at the boulder-lined pull-off 0.6 miles beyond the 38-mile marker. You can glimpse the action, if there is any, a few hundred yards beyond the parking lot. This is th
