The year is coming to a close. During 2015,
Creative Florida Living explored many of the interesting, fun, educational, and
enriching things to do and places to go. In this post, we will look back and
explore the best of...
Outside things to do
Coastal Central Florida is teaming with
opportunities for outdoor activities. Over the course of the year, we talked
about some of them in this very blog. Follow the links to find out more.

Daytona, Daytona Beach Shores, Wilbur by the Sea – the pier is easily
accessible and makes for inexpensive outdoor fun!

spectacular. Accompanied by a museum that talks about the life of the
lighthouse keepers, this activity takes you in and out of doors. Great for you,
kids, and your guests.
Central Florida Springs The springs in Central
Florida are of breath-taking beauty. Each one has different activities and all
of them are quickly accessed by car.
Inside things to do

it is nice to have some indoor options!

than in the commercial movie theaters.

excellent photographic exhibits, along with artist talks and docent lectures,
make this museum outstanding.
