So, to be helpful (to you) I would suggest a city to visit for restaurants and culture that is about 1 plus hours drive away----------Tarpon Springs. If you Google it you will find a rich history of Greek sponge divers (still an industry). For 30 years sponge harvesting was Florida's biggest industry (bigger than citrus or tourism). In 1940 there was a sponge blight, but today Tarpon Springs is one of the world's largest natural sponge producers.
.........The Greek influence means that today there are great Greek restaurants in the area. Lots of great-tasting fish like mullet and swordfish and whatever are available. Several years ago I spent an enjoyable day there and ate at a wonderful restaurant.
