Publix delis are more than just a place to grab a quick sandwich or some fried chicken; they’re a cultural institution for Floridians. But what if you decided to visit every single Publix deli? What would that adventure look like, and how long would it take? Let’s dive into the ultimate Publix pilgrimage, exploring the northernmost, southernmost, and largest Publix delis while calculating how much time you’d need for this unique journey.

Excerpt:
"When the fog creeps in and the cypress groan, locals say she’s near. Deep in Florida's Green Swamp, a shadow moves where no shadow should be, and disembodied laughter echoes through the mist.

They call her the Swamp Witch — part healer, part outcast, and all legend. Some claim to have seen her glowing eyes from the edge of the trail. Others say if you hear her cackle, it’s already too late.

Step into the tangled heart of the swamp, but tread lightly… because she’s still watching."

Most beaches are made of sand — gritty, grainy, sticks-to-everything sand. But one Florida beach broke the mold. Instead of walking on sand, visitors stroll over a crunchy, shimmering blanket of shells. Seashells as far as the eye can see. No, this isn't a mermaid's front porch — it's Florida's very own shell-covered wonderland, and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Curious? Let’s take a walk through the one and only Shell Beach

“Not all monsters live in the ocean. Deep beneath the still, murky waters of Florida’s largest lake, something stirs. Fishermen whisper stories of massive shadows that glide just beneath their boats. Unexplained splashes echo across the water at night. Is it a gator? A fish? Or something... else? Some say it's Florida's very own lake monster. A creature too big, too fast, and too mysterious to be caught. Ready to dive in? The truth about Lake Okeechobee's most elusive resident is murkier than the water itself.”

“If you’re driving through Florida and sneeze, you might miss it—but honestly, you’ll be better for it.”

You know the place — that odd collection of shacks perched on wooden stilts in Biscayne Bay. To some, it’s a playground. To others, it’s a relic of wilder days. But for those who know its story, Stiltsville is a symbol of Florida’s most enduring tradition — the refusal to play by the rules.

**"Ever wonder why a single stone crab claw costs more than a steak dinner? Here’s the deal — you’re not just paying for seafood, you’re paying for a masterclass in patience, precision, and pure Florida grit. Unlike most crabs, these little tough guys don’t get tossed in a pot. Nope, fishermen only take the claws, twist ‘em off like a soda cap, and toss the crab back in the water to grow a new set. It’s the ultimate 'give and take' relationship with nature.

But that process? It ain’t quick, easy, or cheap. Between setting traps, sorting claws, and keeping the crabs alive, it’s more work than a summer roof job in August. Add a short harvest season (October to May) and a little foodie frenzy, and suddenly that claw on your plate feels like gold-plated seafood. Crack it open, dip it in mustard sauce, and savor the sweetest, most expensive bite of Florida you’ll ever have."**
