We stopped there a few weeks ago and hated it. It was very small and the only place to get food was across a 6-lane highway.

Fortunately, we knew about beautiful nearby Tomoko State Park and went there for a picnic and a walk on their magnificent walking trails.

Florida is full of surprises - both good and bad. One visit teaches us to avoid the bad places - like Ormond Beach and Vilano Beach - and we keep going back to the wonderful places like Alexander Springs and Bok Tower. It is great to live in Florida.
