Picnic fans might want to consider buying a Florida property as the area is full of picnic hotspots.

The examiner.com says: "This weekend live a little out of the beach box and plan a picnic with your family and friends or go it alone and take in the solace of the trails."

According to the website, too many Floridians forget about the beautiful parks the south has to offer and visit the beaches instead.

However, there are plenty of parks close to the cities for urban dwellers to choose from and a picnic can be rustled up in no time from the great choice of gourmet markets available in the surrounding towns.

Some of the green spots recommended include the Atlantic Dunes Park, Orchard View Park and Delray Oaks Natural Area.

Delray is part of a countrywide programme to protect biological communities and species in the Palm Beach County.

The Florida state’s parks cover over 700,000 acres in total and include 100 miles of white-sand beaches.
