A Day at the Beach in Destin - Florida



The map shows Tallahassee - Pensacola - and Destin. Many people think that Tallahassee is way out on the Florida Panhandle. After looking at the map you will realize that one can travel 200 west of Tallahassee before you hit Pensacola. Destin is about 150 miles west of our home.

Many folks are not aware that some of the best beaches in Florida and the World are found along the Florida Panhandle. The beaches are known for - the whitest cleanest sand - crystal clear green water - and a lack of crowds. Many students from the central part of the country flock to this "Redneck Riviera" during February and March. We are a little early for the spring break crowd - but the beaches are nonetheless beautiful.

Lulu loves the beach. If I would agree - she would move here and drive the plus 100 miles to work every day. Her idea of success is "really" living in your own home on the beach - not being a "renter." Every summer - Lulu's family would go to the same place on the Jersey Shore in Wildwood and rent for a week.

The video was taken in Destin last July. It shows you the pretty sand and water.

After seeing this video - I wonder how many sharks lurk where the waves are not quite as clear.
