"No Passport Required" - Beyond the Theme Parks: A Hidden Florida State Park, Great Cuban Food & the Dirty Soda Trend

from Orlando's Morning News Express

5.24.26 - This week on No Passport Required, Josh McCarthy and Ed Torrance take listeners beyond Orlando's famous attractions to explore some of Florida's lesser-known gems. The conversation begins with a local favorite, Black Bean Deli, and the growing popularity of "dirty sodas," a social media-inspired drink trend showing up across Central Florida. Then, the adventure heads south to Collier-Seminole State Park, a natural treasure near Naples where visitors can camp, hike, paddle, spot wildlife, and even see one of the few places in America where alligators and crocodiles share the same habitat. Plus, discover nearby Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park, home to old Florida landscapes, native orchids, and unforgettable road trip scenery.
