I noticed this year there was more black sand. we have always been amazed at the fact that you walk across the white sand and it doesnt burn your feet and it makes that cool noise. However, this year was different and on one occasion several in our group burnt the crap out of our feet walking...

would someone please tell me........fireworks we are in seagrove (near one seagrove place), would someone please tell us where the best and closest spot to go watch fireworks will be tomorrow night. Everything I have read is running together--keep in mind when you tell me I am a tourist...

arkiegirl and gang are in Seagrove right now--so far we have only ate at condo and in Destin (dewey's and capt kidds) I am sure when all the food we broght is gone we will be venturing out more. Hey--do something about this weather, june grass, and jellys---please!! ha

I posted this question asking for a local place--we already have a camera, just wanted to purchase a filter. THanks for all of the imput but I was simply wanting to know if there was a local camera store in the area.

Is there a camera store (to buy equipment for a good SLR camera) in this area.......Destin, PCB, 30-A?

Today (friday) the flags are yellow/purple. Our experience in Seagrove B was: This morning the jellys and june grass were really bad--several in our group were stung, but this afternoon it was much clearer.

I am in Seagrove Does anyone know where I can find some "Foakley" sunglasses in this area--that would be the cheap, imitation version of Oakley sunglasses. My teenage son wants some and I am not buying him oakleys to get lost in the ocean. I have seen people set up in tourist areas before.

I have seen mention of this several times, but have yet to find an answer. Is there a firewords display in the 30-A area? If so when and where? In years past, we have seen a display by (I think) the Hilton in Sandestin--not just on the 4th--several times during the week of, also the...

Does it cost to see the Stinky Cheese Man. Do you bring your own blankets, chairs? What time should you arrive? Exactly where is it--not familiar with the area at ALL--but will be in a few days.

So I am confused--is the green slime in the water what becomes the brown dry weeds on the shore? I thought june grass was the brown stuff, but are you saying the green slime in the water is june grass also

seaweed questions My mom is in Seagrove and is asking me to post about the seaweed--or what ever is in the water right now. What causes this and how long does it typically last? They said it was clear on Monday but yesterday and today it is gross. From past experience I told her it would...

Coming to Seagrove in a week and a half. I am the planner. I have looked at lists, posts, and website on local eating establishments but I am overwhelmed. I have never been to the area (only to Destin), so I am having trouble keeping it all straight in my head. I know you locals get tired of...

Two families are coming to Seagrove Beach at the end of June/first of July. I am curious about fishing trips for part of our group (men and kids). What do you recommend and who? I realize you probably can not advertise but could you PM me. It would be 5-6 people. I doubt we could afford a...

We have reservations to stay in Seagrove beach end of June/first of July and we are sooooooo excited. We feel so blessed to have found what we think is going to be a wonderful place to stay--with reservations thru an owner who has been awesome to work with. Some friends from the Tampa area are...

Can someone post the order in which the "beaches" fall from Sandestin eastward to PCB? We are making plans to vacation in Seagrove and I am not familiar with the area outside of Destin. I am getting confused exactly where the different communities fall, although I understand there is not much...

Tell me all about Seagrove Beach. We are only familiar with Destin and have not even been down 30-A. Tell me about the eating places--any "fast food" places near by? Is there a major name grocery store? The place we are looking at is across 30-a from the gulf--who is that to cross with...

Our group is 2 families--4 adults and 5 kids--one of those being a little fellow.

Ok, going to post again. This searching is about to drive me CRAZY :eek: 2 families looking for a vacation rental for June 28-July 5. We want gulf front or very close to being gulf front. Our price range is $2000 (+/- a bit). We would like to have access to a pool--be it private...

2 families (total of 9) looking for a house/cottage/condo in smaller complex on the beach--gulf front or gulf view--but very close to the water, easy beach access, no crossing streets. We have kids and haul a lot of stuff to the water. It would also be great to have access to a pool. I...

I would like some info on the cabins at Grayton Beach state park. The web site is pretty vague and the map is not detailed at all. I did look on goggle earth and it appears that the cabins are a ways from the actual campground. I guess one of my main concerns is the distance to the beach...

Are there any vacation rentals that rent from mid week to mid week. I know most are weekend to weekend. How do I go about finding them if there is.

2 families (one with 2 kids, one with 3) looking for a condo or house in the Sandestin or atleast east side of Destin for some time during the coming summer--week yet to be determined. On past trips to the area, we have stayed at Camping on the Gulf--either in a camper or in one of their...

We just returned from Destin (with 3 kids) and I bought everything I could before going--even had a cooler with some things. I had a list of things to get once we arrived and I stopped at the Winn Dixie in Destin/Sandestin to get milk, eggs, lettus, etc ( on a sunday afternoon). I have found...

The girl was killed 2 years ago (June 25) and it was a little east of Mirimar, at Camping on the Gulf.

where in Arkansas are you?

Last year at this I we too saw Manatees (on 2 different occasions)--very close to shore. It was first a scary site as everyone cleared the water, but then once I realized what we were witnessing it was awesome! This year I was talking to a local surfer and he said seeing one is not usually...

Ok, This is NOT what I am wanting to hear, as we are arriving in a few days. :yikes: I have a question on the flags. How does it work, who makes the call, who changes them, etc, etc. We will be at Camping on the Gulf (where the girl was killed 2 years ago :cry: ) and there is no lifeguard...

I have pulled up a menu for Dewey Destins. I am wondering if you can tell me what you have had there? What you recommend and do recommend?

can someone give me a review of the Glass Bottom Boat in Destin? Length? Price? Where it goes and what it does? And exactly what is a "glass bottom boat"? Never been on one. :idontno:

We are coming to stay at Camping on the Gulf (I guess considered in Sandestin), and possibly will have some visitors who will stay at a motel/hotel for a night or two. Can someone give me some names of those hotels/motels very close to Camping on the Gulf?

I am not very familiar with Publix stores, but I am all too familiar with Wal Mart (notice my name "Arkiegirl"). I have in the past had horrible experiences with the Destin WM--espically on Sunday :pissed: . I plan to bring most of my groceries, but will still have things to pick up. How...

can someone tell this Arkansas girl about Tommy Bahama's Cafe? Type of food, atomosphere, cost? Family or more bar type place?

Re: golf cart rental Well, I would say its pretty big (deep). If you are in the "upper" part of the campground, its a nice little walk down to the beach (espically when you have chairs, umbrellas, toys, towels, sunscreen, drinks, boogie boards, life jackets, and, and, and............) and...

Re: golf cart rental and by the way, this is to use within the park, on the park roads--where its common to see people making their way from one end of the park to another via cart. Its NOT to use on the streets or bike paths, or beach.

Is there a place in Destin that would rent a golf cart for a week---to be used at a camp ground (really for transportation, not golfing)? We are staying in at Camping on the Gulf, but their cart rental is unbelievably high. We could even pull a small trailer to transport it. Do you know of a...

Thanks so much, that waterplanet usa must be what they were talking about, b/c they also mentioned something about the place doing things with special needs kids. They were just way confused about where it was (and how much it cost!!)

Is there a Target in Destin?

I know of Gulfarium in Ft Walton and Gulf World in PCB, is that the only attraction of its kind in the Destin area? In talking to someone who is also planning a trip, they seemed to think there was a new place (like just opened last year) in Ft Walton, where you could swim with dolphins.

can you give me very specific direction to Dewey Destins? what can I expect to pay for a family of 5 (2 would be eating a kids meal)

I am not knocking this board, just wondering if there is anything more specific to Destin--I get a little confused at exactly what is where when different names of little towns/beaches are mentioned. I just know I am going to Destin in a few weeks and want info on things around us, not...

Does anyone know of a fairly new resturant in Ft Walton Beach that is a great place to take kids and possibly you can see Dolphins??? Someone was trying to tell me about one they have heard about but didnt really know much info.

Does anyone know of a message board specifically for Destin? Ft. Walton? Or is this as close as it gets?

I am looking for a house for 2 families that is on the beach (or atleast within view and walking distance). I posted last year, I know there is a neighborhood near "camping on the gulf" campground in Sandestin. I am specifically looking for the name of the neighborhood to the west of the...

What do the helicopters do when they fly over? I was told when we were there a few weeks ago that they are on the look out for sharks--if so, who do they report to, when, etc. I could see someone "hanging out" looking down but I would think that if they spotted something, buy the time the...

We just stayed at Camping on the Gulf in Sandestin at the end of June. THere was a house on the West side of the Campground property that I would love to check into for price, name, etc. I just never did it while there and regret it. This house was about on the 3rd "row" of houses from the...

In reading another post, it was said that the WM in PCB was awful............well dito for the WM in Destin. NOTICE--I am from Arkansas--thick WM country. The Destin WM manager will be getting a nasty letter or email from me. It was HORRIBLE. Aside from being busy, the ladies in the deli...

Just returned from Destin, I had posted a question before we left--looking for a good boat that was "kid friendly". We found one in the harbor--"the Little Nemo" is designed for kids. They catch bait fish and then troll for larger fish. It was just what we were looking for. Didnt catch much...

can someone please recommend a fishing boat--family oriented, and one that will be kid friendly for a 14, 11, and 4 year old. not the private charters but the group boats. PM me if you need to

Other than Capt. Kidds buffet, is there any other resturant in Destin where you can get "all you can eat" crab legs. (not priced by the pound)

There has been a recent post about fishing with kids and if I can, I would like to add another--we are going to be in Destin next week--the week of June 25th. We are considering doing a fishing trip. I am wanting opinions on the MOST "kid friendly" boat. My husband and I w/ a 14, 11, and 4...
