The beloved manatee is a Florida icon, and several of our state’s award-winning state parks provide both critical habitat for manatees and educational experiences and programs to help park visitors create connections with these gentle giants. November is Manatee Awareness Month — Former Gov. Bob Graham first made the designation in 1979 — and the Florida State Parks Foundation celebrated the occasion by announcing a new wave of manatee-related resources for four state parks, all of which are no more than a day trip from Tallahassee. The Jacksonville-based Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Funds, a longtime partner of the Foundation, donated $250,000 to help bring these new resources to fruition. “Mrs. Weaver made an incredible investment in Florida’s state parks and manatees,” Florida State Parks Foundation CEO Julia Gill Woodward said. “We are thrilled to see that these projects have come to fruition through her generosity.” Want to check out the new features and experience Florida’s manatees this month? Start down the road in Levy County, where Manatee Springs and Fanning Springs state parks have each received new signage to inform visitors about Florida’s manatees and how to best share our state’s waterways with them.

Fried mullet is one of the oldest flavors in Florida, and it still shows up on plates from the Panhandle to the Gulf Coast fishing villages. Long before fancy seafood spots took over the coast, small shacks and family kitchens served this salty, crispy fish with grits, hush puppies, and slaw.

Although they may be a little harder to find than they used to be, no trip through the Florida Panhandle is complete without making at least one U-turn to stop at a roadside boiled peanut stand. The deep South is known for two nuts in particular, peanuts and pecans, and here in Jackson County, we’re proud to grow both. The holidays just wouldn’t be the same without our beloved pecans!

Many of the dreamiest Florida Panhandle landscapes are defined by sugary beaches wrapped around the turquoise waters of the Gulf Coast, but venturing slightly inland can take you from seaside panoramas to forested escapes. One such wooded retreat easily accessible from Tallahassee is the Apalachicola National Forest. It's a massive refuge of over 635,000 acres with incredibly diverse landscapes, from shadowy swamps and winding rivers to underwater caves and a dense stretch of hardwoods that feels more Southern Appalachians than subtropical coast. No wonder the U.S. Forest Service describes the protected area as "one of the most unique ecosystems in the world".
Tallahassee, Florida — a city where the oaks drip with Spanish moss and the air hums with the laughter of students, where the red-brick heart of the South beats alongside the rhythm of new arrivals, where every block is stitched with stories and the scent of something simmering. Here, the city’s soul is a patchwork: Seminole pride, Southern hospitality, and the vibrant pulse of a capital that never quite sits still. It’s a place where college kids and lifelong locals share the same sun, where food is both a memory and a promise, and where every meal feels like a homecoming.
Somewhere between the tourist traps and the chain restaurants, Florida is hiding some genuinely legendary food, and Graves Drive-In in Perry is one of the best examples of that. The locals already know this, which is why they keep showing up, and why you should too. Florida has a reputation...
