The Best of 2015





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.

Sunglow Pier Fishing Near Port Orange, South Daytona, Daytona Beach Shores, Wilbur by the Sea – the pier is easily accessible and makes for inexpensive outdoor fun!

Ponce Inlet Lighthouse The lighthouse is 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

In the summer months, it gets pretty steamy, so it is nice to have some indoor options!

Cinematique - This independent movie theater gives you a lot of bang for your buck. Not only do you get to see fabulous films and avant-garde film festivals, the popcorn is a whole lot less expensive than in the commercial movie theaters.

Southeast Museum of Photography - Truly excellent photographic exhibits, along with artist talks and docent lectures, make this museum outstanding.

Mary Bethune House   A valuable piece of Central Florida history.


 Waterfront dining


Waterfront dining is part of Florida living. Here are a few of our favorite outdoor restaurants.

Crabby Joe’s Deck and Grill is on the Sunglow pier. You can eat and drink while sitting right on top of the water!

Captain Daddy’s  features Florida fare in a unique riverboat restaurant.

Boondocks – a long established restaurant on the Halifax river. 


 Inside dining
 
Third Wave Café New Smyrna Beach’s café and restaurant features fresh, interesting food and drink selections in a fabulous indoor/outdoor setting.

Hamburger Mary’s Fun and quirky, Hamburger Mary’s is part of Daytona’s Beach Street life.


Adam’s Kitchen This local gourmet restaurant has a small, seasonal menu, and lots of delicious events.

Stay tuned for interesting discoveries in this blog in 2016!! Happy New Year!
