Closest good trail will be Alafia , see
http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Falls/3939/alafiariver.html
Also see Croom at http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Falls/3939/croomsec.html
, but it is good only after a day or so of rain.
The climate is humid and hot, rains frequently, if not daily in summer( in
afternoon). Scuba diving is [censored] within a few miles of shore, but if you go
about 100 miles out, to the Middle Grounds, this is world class diving.
Alafia is awesome, and you can run Mapquest to see how big of a drive it
would be for you.
