Downtown Sanford is a really fun area for window shopping, drinks and food! There is also a marina that has a nice paved walk/bikeway if you want to get in some fresh air!
Authentic German restaurant with the singing and music as well! Check the calendar to make sure entertainment is happening when you want to go! Get ready to Zicke zacke, zicke zacke, hoi hoi hoi!! You can even do the Das Boot challenge!
Don't judge a book by it's cover! This is a very unassuming convenience store but it is a BEER MECCA! If you want some local beer or just fun craft beer in general, you should definitely check it out! They also have amazing Indian street food! Get the kaboom fries!
Hiking isn't really "hiking" in Florida but if you want to get outdoorsy, Black Bear Wilderness is a great way to experience the Florida wilderness.
