This is where the wedding party and family will be staying. There is much to do on the property including fishing, pickle ball, and gun ranges. Head to the website and check it out!
Adjacent to the Main Street shops is Flagler Park, where you can stroll by a helicopter and tank placed there in honor of local veterans, along with a memorial for those who fought in wars. Further down in Flagler Park is a new butterfly garden with nine sculptures of colorful butterflies. The plants in the garden are the types that naturally attract butterflies. Take a few minutes to sit on one of the benches there (shaped like butterflies, naturally) and, sure enough, you’ll see bees buzzing and butterflies flittering around.
Okeechobee’s Main Street area is small but includes a range of shops and eateries, boutiques, a book store, a pharmacy, Serenity Coffee shop, and Gladys’ Restaurant. At the corner of Main Street you’ll find the folksy Brown Cow Sweetery, where you can indulge in quiches or sandwiches and top off your meal with ice cream or gourmet chocolate.
Get a real slice of cowtown life at Eli’s Western Wear, where locals gather to buy new cowboy hats and boots. Take a look before you go inside to read local signs for turkey hunts, rodeos, and herding dogs for sale. Inside, you may see employees steam-shaping a hat for a customer. There are lots of cool boots, purses, and outfits.
See the beautiful Lake Okeechobee at this free park with plenty of parking and nice facilities. There is a dock that goes out on to the water as well.
