According to writers, Florida's top pick is Matlacha ! This quaint beach town is less than 20 miles away from Fort Myers and has plenty to offer. Travelers can enjoy beautiful galleries, wonderful restaurants, local landmarks, community parks, wildlife viewing, and other fun activities. Here's why it's getting the spotlight:

"Florida is a huge tourist destination, but there are tons of small towns that haven’t been touched if you look hard enough. Matlacha is one of those. Locals refer to it as 'Old Florida,' basically what the state was like before Disney landed. It’s hard not to be inspired in Matlacha due to the numerous art galleries, Floridian cottages, and delicious food."
