Here is yet another discovery ‘off the beaten path’ from the Florida Rambler website! I have been exceedingly curious about Clam Pass ever since reading an article about it a while back. As we hadn’t really explored the Naples area, and got a great deal at the local Hilton Hotel in Naples (just a stone’s throw from Clam […]

Dome Homes, Beach And Dolphins – How To Have The Perfect Day At Cape Romano
This is now my second post on the Dome Homes close to Marco Island on the south-west coast of Florida (here’s the first). We tried to see them once before, half-heartedly, having made tentative plans to kayak out of Marco Island’s Caxambas Park. On the way to the park, whilst checking the tides and wind, […]
A Free And Cool Summer Snorkeling Expedition – Phil Foster Park in Palm Beach County
What to do when you don’t know what to do? Usually, I head over to one of my favorite trusty websites, the Florida Rambler and Authentic Florida, to come up with something to do on the weekend. And so it was the other weekend. We were in dire need of a new place to check […]
A Quick Escape From City Life – Kayaking In John D MacArthur Beach State Park

Old Seven Mile Bridge Is Closed? You Can Still Get To Pigeon Key!

Luckily, the DOT and Monroe County, with the city of Marathon, have taken the burden […]
Oh Deer! Big Pine Key And The No Name Pub
First of all I apologize for my prolonged absence. June 2016 was quite the month for me. As well as publishing my first book ‘Walking The Keys To Happiness’, about my solo walk of the Florida Keys (you can get it here), I had another important event to attend to and prepare for. Yes, my own […]
Join Me For My Online Book Launch 1st June 2016: Walking The Keys To Happiness
….and now for something completely different! In October of 2013 I walked the Florida Keys from Key Largo to Mile 0 in Key West in 6 days solo. What – other than madness perhaps – inspired me to do this? Mile Marker 88 – 88 Miles To Go First and foremost it was my love […]
Two Must-See Gems Of North Florida: Apalachicola And St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge
Why take the drive to Apalachicola? Planning a little road trip through west and north-central Florida we were sure we wanted to visit Cedar Key. Beyond that, it gets to be quite a long trek when you come from Fort Lauderdale. Nevertheless, we decided on visiting Apalachicola, having heard so many good things about it […]
