The new issue of Explore Florida & Caribbean is going places.

From some soft-sandy coves on the rocky coast of North Eleuthera in the Bahamas to crystal-clear springs in Central Florida near Orlando. From the elegant lobbies of four famous Florida hotels celebrating 100-year centennials to the shade of a famous 200- to 300-year-old oak tree on a beachfront park on the Palm Coast near St. Augustine. From a chic table overlooking the pool at award-winning chef José Andrés’ restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton South Beach to a picnic overlooking alligators and anhingas in the Fakahatchee Strand in the Everglades.

All of this – plus calendars of 10 good reasons to travel through regions of Florida and the Caribbean basin this spring and summer – in the new issue of EF&C, a collaboration of the South Florida Sun Sentinel and Orlando Sentinel.
