The coolest thing about Shark Valley is the name. Because there are no sharks and no valley.

It is so named because there are some sharks sort of near there, but of course they are out in ocean where sharks belong. And “valley” because the elevation there is only 6 feet above sea level instead of 12 feet like it is in Miami or Naples on either side of it. So in Florida a 6 foot drop and rise again in elevation spread over 200 miles constitutes a valley.
