Florida is not just a place where elderly people go to retire and where birds migrate to spend the winter months. Florida is a beautiful state with incredible beaches, exciting cities and small towns that are more than worth exploring.

Today, we will be looking at 20 most interesting small towns and cities in Florida, those which really have that something special that will make you remember them for the rest of your life. Some of them are on the ocean while others have some other charms. In any case, these are all beautiful and lovely little places you will want to visit.

1. Dunedin

Dunedin is a small place neighboring Tampa nestled in the St. Joseph Sound cove. The city prospers thanks to an entire collection of beaches, many of which are among the most beautiful in the United States.

In addition to this, Dunedin is the jumping point to Caladesi Island State Park, located on Caladesi which is among the last undeveloped barrier islands in Florida. The beaches that you will find in the Park are constantly ranked among the world’s most beautiful.

Dunedin features a rather quaint downtown with a number of very unique boutiques and shopping opportunities that you will not be able to find anywhere else. For example, the town is home to none of the franchise stores that you will see everywhere else you go in the US.

Finally, Dunedin is also home to a number of annual festivals, more precisely 25 of them. For a town of that size, this is a huge number and it is another reason why it is one of the best small towns in America and not just Florida.
