Clewiston, FL

united states

Clewiston sits on Lake Okeechobee's southern shore in Florida's sugar cane belt. US 27 runs north-south through town, connecting to Miami (65 miles) and central Florida. State Road 80 heads east to Palm Beach and west to Fort Myers, making this a natural crossroads for travelers. The city earned the nickname "America's Sweetest Town" from its massive US Sugar refinery, which fills the air with molasses scent on processing days.
