Heard of this one? It’s graced the cover of many a glossy brochure for good reason — it’s simply spectacular. Think sapphire sea lapping a curve of perfect white sand; the type of beach normally reserved for romantic movie scenes. But at our Wineglass Bay, anyone can wander this picture-perfect setting. Feeling energetic? Climb The Hazards to look out over Wineglass Bay, or paddle around the pink mountains in a kayak. If this all sounds too exhausting, blame the laid back coastal lifestyle and hop on a scenic flight — by far the best way to see Wineglass Bay’s faultless half-moon curve. You can also book a four-day Wineglass Bay Sail Walk journey and you can drop anchor in the bay and call it your own for the evening.

Experience the thrill of high-speed action at New Smyrna Speedway, a half-mile asphalt oval renowned for its Saturday night races. From March through December, the speedway hosts weekly events featuring various divisions that showcase both local talent and rising stars. Beyond the regular season, the speedway is famous for the annual World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing, a nine-night spectacle each February that attracts top drivers from across the country.

The country’s tallest peak dominates this treasure of a park. Experienced climbers can head for the Sibulan and Cooland Trails in Sta Cruz or the Kapatagan Trail in Digos to begin their ascents. The tourist office organises gentler climbs and tours too.

Memphis Mansion is a copy of Elvis Presley's house in Memphis, and you can here find the biggest collection of original Elvis memorabilia outside of the US. The venue also features a small cinema, conference rooms and an Elvis shop with lots of souvenirs, and you have to try the Highway 51 Diner, where you can order food from Southern American recipes and, most important, Elvis's favourite dish: a peanut butter sandwich with jam, grilled bananas and bacon.
