Books will ship starting September 30, 2026. Known for its sun-soaked beaches, world-famous theme parks, and endless coastline, Florida often conjures images of relaxation and escape. Secret Florida: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure reveals that beneath the palm trees and postcard-perfect scenery lies a far more unexpected story. From a police station housed inside a phone booth and an underwater cemetery off the coast of Key Biscayne to haunted hotels, psychic communities, and Cold War secrets hidden deep within the Everglades, Secret Florida uncovers the stories that exist just beyond the surface. At the same time, it celebrates the state’s creativity and curiosity through quirky roadside attractions, underwater mermaid theaters, and communities that have proudly embraced the unconventional. Blending mystery, history, and a touch of the bizarre, local authors JoAnn Hill and Alexia Gonzalez invite readers to look past the expected and discover a Florida unlike any other.
