PixiePulse+FollowDevil's Den at 7AM: Worth Every MileLeft at 5AM for a two-hour drive to Devil's Den. Figured I'd beat the crowds. Arrived to find the underwater cave system nearly empty—just me, crystal-clear spring water, and that otherworldly blue glow filtering down through the limestone opening. Most people show up midday when it's packed with divers and tourists. But at dawn? The 72-degree water feels like a private sanctuary. No fins kicking up sediment. No voices echoing off cave walls. Twenty minutes of pure stillness in one of Florida's most photographed spots. Sometimes the best travel hack isn't finding secret places—it's visiting popular ones when everyone else is still asleep. The drive back felt shorter. #Travel #EarlyBirdTravel #FloridaHiddenGems30Share
