We love going to the Gulf Coast.... the white, sugar sand beaches there are the most beautiful in the world in my opinion. Each time we go and I get my first peek of the emerald sea and the sparkling sand my heart soars. We love the Seagrove Beach/Seaside area. It is so family oriented --- flying kites, building sand castles and looking for seashells is the order of the day there. We don't even wear our watches. We just smile at each other and say, "We are on beach time now."
We have found the most marvelous places to eat and all within a few miles of where we stay. Every morning we walk to Modica's Market in Seaside for croissants and coffee. It is the perfect way to start the day, sitting under an umbrella and doing a little "people watching" as we drink a second cup of coffee. Lunch can be had at the quaint little Airstream trailers that have been converted into all sort of eateries. Our favorite places to eat dinner are 30A and The Old Florida Fishhouse. The grouper and diver scallops are to die for. We have never had better!!! We love to go to Old Towne Panama City to look for antiques. There are many within about a mile radius that have great nooks and crannies to explore. We are never disappointed and always find the most unusual little treasures.
If you have never been to the Emerald Coast of Florida, please go! I promise that you won't be disappointed and you will return home tanned, rested and with wonderful memories.
