FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — South Florida residents are used to the weird. Mailboxes shaped like manatees, buildings painted pink and trees eating up sidewalks are part of the quirky landscape.
For those who appreciate unconventionality, there are abundant outdoor adventures to savor in the coming weeks during this cherished period of cool weather.

Get out and enjoy one or more of these 11 ways to embrace the Sunshine State’s eccentricities.
Take a nocturnal hike: Many of us prefer our nature walks during daylight, but those who prefer the evening can check out Daggerwing Nature Center’s monthly Night Hike in West Boca; the next one is on Feb. 23. A naturalist leads the boardwalk trek, which seeks out creatures who thrive in the darkness. It’s good for ages 8 and older. Be sure to make a reservation. discover.pbcgov.org/parks/Daggerwing
