The entire state is filled with unique destinations that are perfect for someone interested in enjoying the finer things in life. Avoid the crowds and get the most out of your trip by visiting one of these four lesser-known locations in Florida.

Destin

Destin's food scene is growing and attracting more attention every day. So, it is the perfect destination for every foodie. The city is located directly on the water, so fresh-caught seafood is the ideal meal in Destin. A few of the top spots to eat in the area include the French-inspired Bijoux and the refined American restaurant Cuvee Kitchen + Wine Bar.

Naples

Naples is relatively small town located in southern Florida, but it is still the perfect spot in the state to enjoy a live show. The Sugden Theatre holds more than 200 performances of hits plays and musicals every year. The Holocaust Museum & Education Center of Southwest Florida and the Baker Museum are a few of the other must-see attractions in Naples.
