Everglades City takes you back in time. Once the county seat of Collier County, the town itself is adorable, with a few historic buildings to photograph. Take a peek inside the Rod and Gun Club to see this historic fishing club that has been open since the late 1800s. You can eat lunch here, but only if you have cash. Credit cards are not accepted. You can find plenty of places to take you on an airboat or pontoon boat ride in Everglades City.

During the winter, there are many white pelicans but usually only visible by boat. There are also many beautiful landscape opportunities of small mangrove islands, also accessible only by boat.
