The 10 Best Monuments & Statues in Florida, United States

July 24, 2021 Karren Gelb

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

The wall reminds me of the wall in D.C. Very sobering experience. To walk along is see all who gave there lives is sobering.

Brownie the Town Dog Grave and Memorial

Reviewed By 738eddiej

Brownie the Town Dog of Daytona Beach died in 1954, but he remains a beloved part of Daytona Beach history. Brownie was a stray dog who the city of Daytona Beach fell in love with. He was written about in national publications, became a popular tourist attraction, had his own bank account and when he died had a huge funeral and his eulogy was given by the mayor. Today, you can visit his grave and memorial. It's a wonderful site to reflect on the role our pets play in our lives and an interesting glimpse into the history of Daytona Beach's downtown. While there visit the Halifax Historical Museum (this is housed in the Bank building that housed Brownie's bank account in the 40s and 50s), and all the historic shops on Beach Street.

My husband recertified his PADI with Sail Fish Scuba. And went with them to see Christ of the Deep. He was very happy to see the statue and all the marine life around it:)) Very exciting trip and a lot of species to see while diving. Thank You, Tim and SailFish Scuba:)!

Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach

Dedicated in 1990, Kenneth Treister's striking environmental memorial is dominated by the Sculpture of Love and Anguish, a 40-foot-tall outstretched hand, reaching to the sky.

Reviewed By ASPhotoventures - Miami, United States

This was a very powerful and beautifully sad memorial. Though small, it captures the horrors of this dark time in human history.
