Why you should go…
South of the Border is a roadside stop at the junction of I-95 and US 301/501 in Hamer. It began in 1949 as a beer stand and grew into a sprawl of shops, restaurants, a motor inn and a campground. You can ride up the 200-foot tower with its sombrero-shaped deck, pose under the 104-foot Pedro statue, and visit Reptile Lagoon, an indoor exhibit with crocodilians and snakes. Entering the grounds is free, and individual attractions charge their own fees.
