Mount Dora getting top billing as one of Florida’s most relaxing towns? We’ll take it.

Worldatlas.com featured Mount Dora first in its list of “12 Most Relaxing Florida Towns,” and it’s easy to see why.

A getaway here can start with Lake Dora views from Sunset Park or the lighthouse, a boat tour with Dora Canal Premier Boat Tours, Rusty Anchor Mount Dora, or CatBoat Adventure Tours, and lunch downtown at spots like Copacabana Cuban Cafe, Little Something Different, Beirut Bites, Cody's on 4th, The Salted Fry, or many more options.

Then take your time browsing local favorites like Ivy Mount Dora, Cozy Nest, Becker's Best Shoes, Walk in the Woods, or Jewelry by TFC. Grab something sweet from Scoops on 5th, Mystic Ice Cream, Waffles & Cream, K K Ô Chocolate or Sweet Bites by Beirut Bites. Catch live music at Eden Abbey Brewing Community or The Yardery Mount Dora, explore local art, and end the day with a Lake Dora sunset.

And if one day isn’t enough, make it a weekend with a stay at places like Lakeside Inn, Mount Dora, Mount Dora Historic Inn, Heron Cay Lakeview B & B, Mount Dora, FL and many other wonderful downtown options.

That’s the beauty of Mount Dora. There’s plenty to do, but no need to rush through it.
