Fulford-by-the-Sea Monument

You've probably never heard of Fulford-by-the-Sea Monument. But it's worth a trip if only to get a selfie at this gorgeous structure that was built in the early 1900s by the town's original settlers.

Fulford-by-the-Sea Monument is located on the east coast of Florida, right off Highway 1. And if you've ever been there, you might have noticed that it looks like a giant oyster shell—which is totally fitting! The town was originally founded by oyster farmers who came from Alabama to start their new lives in Florida.

The monument itself is made up of three levels: one for each of the founding families who settled here (the Fulford family, the Bartlett family, and the Folly family). Atop each level sits a granite statue of one of these families' members: Mr. Fulford; Mrs. Bartlett; and Mrs. Folly (respectively).

The monument is also home to some incredible architecture inside and out: ornate columns with copper trimming around each window are common throughout the building's interior; outside, there are beautiful fountains that spout water from within their bases.

New World Center

New World Center Miami is a performing arts center located in the heart of downtown Miami, Florida. The center was designed by renowned architect Rem Koolhaas, and it opened in 2011 after an 18-month construction period.
