I have a west coast bias. We are going to head to cabbage key and the dry Tortugas this summer. The only part of the state have not been to is cedar key south to Homosassa.

Carson, ever been to Cabbage Key? We used to go every summer, rent a day boat out of Sanibel or Captivia and take intercostal for lunch at Cabbage Key " Best Burgers".
Then beach boat on bay side of North Captivia and walk around to Gulf side....Total Private Day...water only way in or out...great day.   We never stayed at the lodge on Cabbage Key.
