Here Are The Most Underrated Towns In Florida

By Babs

When you think of Florida, what towns do you think of? I know most will say Miami, Orlando and even Tampa. Those places are the most popular, but there are so many other beautiful towns that people are missing out on.

I use to live in the Fort Myers area and would always go visit downtown Port Charlotte! Downtown Port Charlotte has unique shopping destinations. Also great restaurants.

In my opinion, Port Charlotte is an underrated town, but it did not make this list. Trips To Discover came out with a list of the 14 most underrated towns in Florida. 5 of these towns are in the Tampa Bay Area. I have been to two of them and they are beautiful.

There are so many overlooked destinations and maybe this list will entice you to go visit some. Go take a day trip, and enjoy yourself.  Here is the full list, but below are the 5 Tampa Bay Area towns that are considered underrated according to Trip To Discover.

    Dunedin is a waterfront community located near Tampa and they are popular for their Scottish celebrations. The downtown area has many antique shops and art galleries. Honeymoon Island State Park and Caladesi Island State Park are nearby and they have beautiful white sandy beaches. Want to know more about Dunedin, go visit their Historical Museum.
