Hernando County, Florida
Hernando County is where Florida’s Nature Coast really shines. Brooksville, the county seat, sits on rolling hills. It’s a rarity in Florida. Whereas Spring Hill has that classic Florida retirement vibe.
The Weeki Wachee mermaids have been drawing tourists for decades. Fishing and scalloping in the Gulf are big draws in spring and summer. You’ll find caves here, another Florida oddity. The Withlacoochee State Forest has miles of trails.
There’s a nice mix of rural areas and growing suburbs. Locals enjoy kayaking and paddleboarding on the crystal-clear springs. Hernando County balances natural beauty with small-town charm. We love it because it’s Old Florida with a dash of quirky thrown in.
