We have been going to Bushnell, FL for the past 10 years and want to find something different. What suggestions do you have for the East Coast and the Gulf Coast? Need a place with interesting things to do and see.

Traffic can be murderous. But with such high population the tourist infrastructure is comparable. There's around 30 city parks, nature preserves and a couple of state parks.
My favorite way of getting around is by bicycle or kayak. They give me access to the more natural settings.
Here's some pics of some of the things I've found.
