5 /5 Anthony Perrone: Where the sugar-white sands of North Florida’s beaches meet the sweet tea–stained waters of sloooowww-moving creeks and lazy rivers that meander like they’ve got all the time in the world. It’s a place where flip-flops are formal wear, the fish bite slow, and the sunsets come with a side of hushpuppies.
No, it ain’t Muscle Shoals—don’t expect chart-topping legends—but it’s still got soul, the kind that hums from a screened-in porch and echoes from the local dive where the band Cypress Fire Revival plays every Friday night. Their biggest hit? “Driftin’ with Gators.” Never made the charts, but it’s a classic round here.
