Don’t fall into the trap of following the crowd. Florida may seem like a click-and-go destination, where autopilot takes over and before you know it, you’re in Destin for the umpteenth time. There are numerous Florida hotspots where this can easily happen. The Travel Off Path team put our heads together and took a deep …

Ever been to South Beach? It’s not cheap. Miami oozes excess, and that’s part of the draw for many who live there and plenty who vacation there too. With vibrant streets lined with luxury hotels, valeted Ferraris, and catchy signs luring you in for bottle service, tackling Miami on a tight budget isn’t exactly a …

Sandy crevices may be unavoidable. But crowds? It’s easier than you think with just a little digging — no, not in your crevices… Research, people. Research. That’s what we’re all about. The Travel Off Path team was stoked to unpack HomeToGo’s latest beach report just in time for one of our sunniest seasons. While it …

It may seem as if everyone goes to Florida for spring break, but not all of them go to Destin and Panama City, as it may seem. With Miami putting the kibosh on rowdy college crowds, even Florida’s most iconic city has become a lot more enjoyable from March through April. That said, there’s so …

Look, we get it — certain regions of Florida seem to have flags planted by retirees with a “get off my lawn, you whippersnapper” attitude. And that can be seen as a key driver for the younger crowd of spring breakers and honeymooners eyeing flashier getaways in such places as Panama City. But the gatekeeping …

We’ve been around the block a time or two here at Travel Off Path. We know there are typically a few recycled places that come to mind when we think of European-esque getaways without the need for a passport. St. Augustine, Florida, Carmel, California, Savannah, Georgia, and some would even say sections of New Orleans, …

As Christmas cheer will soon turn into New Year’s fireworks, once the holidays subside, we’re back to reality, realizing there are no distractions from frigid American winters. Of course, we all know the perfect antidote is the “Sunshine State”, boasting year-round sun-kissed shores. Year after year, Americans (and Canadians) known as “snowbirds” flock to Florida …

On my trip to Miami, I was more impressed by the cultural neighborhoods and shops lining South Beach than the beaches themselves. But even seasoned travelers like me make mistakes. After reading Southern Living’s take on Miami’s alter ego, I quickly realized I missed the boat — literally. I should’ve scoped out where locals go …

Finding something new in America’s oldest city seems like a tall task, but what about one of Florida’s undiscovered beach towns, a stone’s throw away? St. Augustine falls to the wayside for many Florida visitors, with that one amusement park with smiling giant rodents and Miami’s vibrant nightlife attracting partygoers like moths to a flame. …

We at Travel Off Path love not visiting Southwest Florida, but reporting on it too. I mean, who wouldn’t want to vacation in one of America’s prettiest destinations? This side of Florida is the antithesis of the rest of the Gulf’s notoriously brackish waters westward of Alabama, replaced with shades of Caribbean hues and powdery white …

Long done are the days Destin lies as a tight-lipped secret in the shadows of Gulf Shores. Nope — Destin has soared in popularity over the years as one of the Gulf’s most prized destinations. No matter if it’s Spring Break shenanigans, a well-deserved summer vacay, or a sunny winter escape, Destin undoubtedly checks off …

We at Travel Off Path love a secluded hideaway as much as anyone, but it’s become harder and harder to find them in the Sunshine State. Florida continues it’s record-breaking tear setting new benchmarks year after year, which obviously means coastlines begin to feel squeezed as crowds flock their sun-drenched shores no matter the season. …
