Ocala is one of the ‘Most Beautiful Places’

 

Travel + Leisure published its list of the “Most Beautiful Places in the Sunshine State” on Saturday. Ocala/Marion County came in at number 18 on the list, which included 26 locations from all across the state.

“Ocala and Marion County boast miles of untainted nature, making it a great destination to experience natural wonders, outdoor adventure, world-class sporting facilities, and culture,” according to Dana Young, president and CEO of Visit Florida. In addition to the Ocala/Marion County area, the magazine also named the Three Sisters Springs in nearby Crystal River as one of its most beautiful spots. The spring is regularly visited by dozens of manatees during cold weather.

The accolade is one of several that the city of Ocala has received this year from publications around the United States.

Earlier this year, Ocala was ranked as the most affordable place to live in the state of Florida and ranked among those with the most new residents over the past year.
