The Suwannee River (http://www.50states.com/songs/florida.htm). As you drive on I10 from Jacksonville to Tallahassee (or Tallahassee to Jacksonville), you'll see a sign just before the river that actually has a few measures of the music written out.
Tallahassee Lassie (http://www.rockabilly.nl/lyrics4/t0044.htm). Florida's capital city, where I lived for about ten years. The most interesting tourist attraction is the Capitol, and it's important to approach it from Apalachee Parkway. You'll drive around a bend in the road and suddenly, there it will be in all its majestic glory. There is a dome for the Senate and another for the House, and a 22-story tower between the two. The Capitol is commonly refered to as The Dick on the Hill. So is Jeb, though, so the two are occasionally confused.
Pensacola (http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/j/joanosborne2040/pensacola96771.html). It's right on the Gulf of Mexico, and the beach is absolutely breathtaking. Clear green water and miles of sand so white it looks like sugar. The beaches on the Gulf have spoiled the rest of the world's beaches for me because nothing measures up. You'll also find incredible seafood there, and there are loads of little historical things to see. I lived nearby for ten years and quite liked it.
As for places from books, Carl Hiaasen's books are all set in South Florida, and they are hilarious.
