Plus tips on where to find the best beaches, nature reserves, golf, boating, swimming, snorkeling, and diving spots in the state.
  • Where to find the absolute best seafood in the state from rustic fish camps in Jacksonville to fine dining in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and more. Plus tips on where to find the most authentic Cuban food in Miami and the best places for sunset cocktails in Palm Beach and Key West.
  • Insightful commentary on Florida's history and culture, from Ponce de Leon's discovery of historic St. Augustine to the birth of tourism in Tampa Bay during the Gilded Age and from space exploration in Cape Canaveral to Ernest Hemingway's residency on Key West.

  • Opinionated reviews. No bland descriptions and lukewarm recommendations. Our expert writers are passionate about their destinations—they tell it like it is in an engaging and helpful way.
  • Exact prices listed for every establishment and activity—no other guides offer such detailed, candid reviews of hotels and restaurants. We include the very best, but also emphasize moderately priced choices for real people.

Meet the Author


Lesley Abravanel is a freelance journalist and a graduate of the University of Miami School of Communication. When she isn’t combing South Florida for the latest hotels, restaurants, and attractions, she’s on the lookout for vacationing celebrities, about whom she writes in her thrice weekly nightlife and gossip columns and blog, “Scene in the Tropics” and “Velvet Underground,” for the Miami Herald. She is a contributor to Conde Nast Traveler, Time Out, and all three illustrious supermarket tabloids. She is the author of Frommer’s South Florida, Florida For Dummies, and Frommer’s Portable Miami.

Laura Miller is a freelance writer based in Orchard Park, New York, though she’s spent countless hours scouring Central Florida’s theme parks, hotels, and restaurants over the years — with and without the help of her five children. A family travel expert who religiously makes more than just a few trips to the Land the Mouse built, she is also writing a guide and creating a website about Florida just for families.
