Caladesi Island State Park

One of Florida's few remaining undisturbed barrier islands.

Reviewed By Kellylroche - Saint Joseph, United States

This was a simple morning paddle for our family of 4 (8 & 10 yr olds). We rented two double kayaks from Sail Honeymoon for 2 hours ($45/kayak) which was long enough to paddle over, explore the Caladesi Island and paddle back. The tide was low and we even found an area of live sand dollars on the way. Highly recommend!

Dunedin Cyclery

Reviewed By JohnS417 - Dunedin, United States

This is the best bike shop I have ever been to, I have had several bikes worked on here and the work is first class, with a personal touch too, and the cost is very modest. They take time to explain what is needed,what was done, and what to do in the future. We stop in to get air for my bike and my wife's from time to time and we are always made to feel welcomed. No hard sells here ever! They even offered cold water to us on a hot day. Wether you are just tooling about the trail or doing distance, these guys will have your back, friendly,professional, and right off the trail in downtown Dunedin.

The National Armed Services & Law Enforcement Memorial Museum

Reviewed By AMN1209 - Fort Lauderdale, United States

First, we are a law enforcement family. I must say that when we added this stop to our itinerary, I was a little skeptical being that I’ve never heard of it and we weren’t sure what Titusville had to offer. I will say we were beyond pleasantly surprised with the Museum. The Memorial was one of the most beautiful, respectful memorials I have ever seen. From the minute we walked in the door, we were greeted by a very nice young lady who explained the layout. We were traveling with 2 children under 10. They were captivated the entire time. The memorial really hit home for the girls when they saw names and pictures of people they actually knew whom we had worked with. It was a very emotional experience, yet an absolute lovely way to pay respect to the the fallen. The rest of the museum has very informative exhibits of crime scenes, a jail and prison cell we locked the kids in, a gas chamber, electric chair and guillotine, various modes of LEO transportation, a video viewing room, antique and unique weapons, and a K9 memorial. There is also a beautiful chapel and a small souvenir/gift shop. There is a gun range as well but we did not visit this time. Please make this a stop if you’re in the area, or plan to visit if you’re not. It is well worth it.
