Looking for a Laid-Back Florida Destination Away
From the Hustle and Bustle?
No Crowds:
Walk the white sand beach, listen to the waves, spot birds, dolphins and all kinds of wildlife. Drive or hike the state or national forest and -- maybe not see one other human being. Out county building height limit prevents high-density population.
No traffic lights:
Something no other seacoast area we know can boast.
No big city to close:
Tallahassee and its airport is an hour away. Panama City is 2 hours and has a new international airport and welcomes Southwest Airlines.
No heavy industry:
No limit on things to do and places to stay:
Fish (alone or in a tournament--plenty of water access points) over f ive marinas and 4 public boat ramps--Kayak, go birding, fishing, boating, enjoy fresh local seafood at our restaurants, hiking, attend a local festival, walk the beach or forest, attend a university-sponsored nature seminar. Stay over in a beach house, Key-West style inn, riverfront mansion, motel, RV Park or marina. "Life's simple pleasures are the best"--turn off the cell phones and I-phones--come here to reconnect with spouse or children. Build a sand castle, take a walk or paddle, visit Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum, cast a net, see the Crooked River Lighthouse Park, stop by the Carrabelle History Museum, drop a line, watch the sunset.
