Florida Caverns separates Marianna from the beach map

Florida Caverns gives Marianna a landmark that has nothing to do with the beach.

The park opened to the public in 1942 and is known for cave tours inside a Florida state park. The cave setting includes formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, and draperies. The park also sits near the Chipola River and Blue Hole spring, so the day can include both underground and river-country context.

For Jackson County, that is useful identity. It shows a part of Florida built around limestone, springs, bluffs, and inland roads rather than sand and surf.

Check the state park page before you go. Cave tours can depend on tickets, staffing, stairs, weather, repairs, and capacity. Confirm hours, fees, reservations, accessibility, closures, and alerts. If the cave is the reason for the trip, do that check first, then build the rest of the day around what is actually available.
