JOHN PENNEKAMP CORAL REEF STATE PARK!




The first undersea park in the U.S., John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park encompasses approximately 70 nautical square miles. While the mangrove swamps and tropical hammocks in the park's upland areas offer visitors a unique experience, it is the coral reefs and their associated marine life that bring most visitors to the park. Many enjoy the view of the reef from a glass-bottom boat tour, but visitors can get a closer look by scuba diving or snorkeling.

Canoeing and kayaking through the park's waters are popular activities; fishing is permitted in designated areas. Visitors can enjoy walking on short trails, picnicking, or swimming at the beach. The Visitor Center has a 30,000-gallon saltwater aquarium and nature videos are shown in its theater. Full-facility and Youth/Group campsites are available.

SNOWBIRDS CAN BE TAXED AS FLORIDA RESIDENTS - HERE'S HOW!

Getty images
Shorter days, leafless trees and frost on the ground are all signs that it’s time for snowbirds to head south for the winter. Of course, I’m not talking about real birds – “snowbirds” are people who live up north during the warm-weather months and in the south during the winter. And if you’re one of the thousands of snowbirds heading to Florida this year, I bet you’ll hear a lot of chatter about the tax benefits of being a resident of the Sunshine State. After all, Florida is one of only nine states without an income tax.


So if your summer home is in one of those high-tax states up north – New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Maryland, Illinois, Connecticut, Wisconsin and the like – you can potentially save thousands of dollars each year if you can establish residency in Florida instead (perhaps millions for someone like President Trump).
