As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Ahh, isn’t it great when you can do two things at once? For instance, when you can visit a new small town AND enjoy a dose of Irish culture? Well in Florida, we’re lucky to have a lot of beautiful spots that are more versatile than the next. Like this one state park for instance. Not only can you snag some all-you-can-eat-pancakes, but you can also rent some kayaks all in the same state park.

Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, since the time of publication the Old Spanish Sugar Mill has closed.

De Leon Springs State Park is a beautiful place for visitors to come and enjoy a day under the sun.

Within the state park there is so much to do, from kayaking to hiking, manatee-watching and swimming.

But what many people don’t know is that is the same park where they get to rent a kayak, they can also snag all-you-can-eat-pancakes!

Old Spanish Sugar Mill is a restaurant and bakery inside De Leon Springs State Park that allows guests to indulge in a serious make-your-own-breakfast extravaganza.

There aren’t too many restaurants within the state that allows people to actually cook their own meal, so it’s one-of-a-kind in itself.
