Beloved Florida Spot Named 'Most Charming Small Town' In The State

Small towns are a dime a dozen, but there is one in each state that stands out from the rest to provide the most unique and memorable experience to visitors and tourists alike.

Be it a quaint town square, picturesque park, or quirky presence, something about this Florida town makes it so unforgettable that it landed on a list of the United States' most charming small towns.

If you've been searching for a place to explore, perhaps away from the hustle and bustle of the state's biggest cities and most popular tourist attractions, look no further than this state gem!

According to an updated list compiled by Thrillist , the most charming small town in all of Florida is Captiva Island . This town was named most charming due to its laid-back downtown and magic sunsets.

Here's what Thrillist had to say about the most charming small town in the entire state:

"The sister to larger Sanibel, Captiva is a wisp of an island 30 miles off the coast of Fort Myers that sports some of the best sand in the Sunshine State (there also aren’t any stop lights or buildings higher than the tallest palm tree, which adds to the beach town charm). Stretching just five miles long, Captiva’s “downtown” is like a much, much more laid-back version of Key West (think seafood shacks and kitschy, colorful Christmas-themed restaurants). On the drive from Sanibel, collect seashells in the sand bar at Blind Pass Beach (where the two islands connect) and stay as the sun goes down—this is when the island’s magic comes to life in the form of “the green flash,” a quick flash that appears for a nanosecond a sunset. If you want a spot even more secluded, boat over to the nearby Cayo Costa, where “deserted” is the best description of the remote, unspoiled island (which doubles as a state park)."
