When I did my PPL out there, my most memorable x-country was out west to Venice, with the final approach being flown over the stark blue water of the Gulf of Mexico.
If I were to go back for hour building I would bring a small backpack with me with a change of underwear and do a few overnighters. Key West, but also up the FL panhandle.
It's not just the hourbuilding, but also having to care for an aircraft for multiple days, getting refueled at strange places, messing with tiedowns (or not), arranging whatever sort of handling you require is experience too!
