Florida is more than beaches and theme parks — it's a vibrant, wild, and surprisingly magical place once you step off the beaten path. That’s what Hike The Sunshine is all about: exploring the natural beauty, secret trails, whimsical roadside attractions, and soul-refreshing springs that make this state a hidden gem for outdoor lovers.

I'm Jeremy — nature enthusiast, curious wanderer, and your guide on this journey through the lush trails and sun-dappled landscapes of Florida and beyond. This isn’t just about hiking; it’s about connection. To the land, to ourselves, and to the small, often-overlooked places that spark joy, wonder, and a little bit of magic.

Our Mission

Hike The Sunshine is on a mission to uncover and celebrate the natural charm of Florida — from moss-covered oak hammocks and coastal boardwalks to secret gardens, freshwater springs, and quirky attractions that feel like something out of a storybook.

Through stories, photos, videos, and trail guides, we aim to inspire others to get outside, slow down, and find peace and adventure in the wild beauty around us.

What You Can Expect

Our posts will showcase:

• Trail guides and local hikes from the Panhandle to the Keys

• Hidden gems like offbeat attractions, roadside oddities, and little-known parks

• Photo essays and nature snapshots capturing the magic of a moment

• Mindful reflections on what it means to connect with nature in a digital world

• Tips for exploring safely and sustainably, no matter your experience level

This journey begins in Florida, but it won’t end there. We’ll eventually branch out to explore natural spaces beyond the Sunshine State — because wonder doesn’t stop at the state line.

So lace up your boots, fill your water bottle, and join me under the canopy of palm fronds and pine needles. Adventure is calling — and it’s a lot closer than you think.

Let’s go Hike The Sunshine.
