Best place to rent beach wheelchair in area? Thanks!!

Wondering if anyone knows if there is a business that rents portable ramps that may be used to navigate aprox 4 steps in house rental? Thanks Much!

looks like it shifted left toward PMC

Yes - stump hole will be gone for sure. Always wondering what would happen to that area when a major one hit. Been vacationing there for years. So sad. Hoping it blows out some before hitting land. Stay safe!!!

Saying Cape San Blas will be destroyed

Does this year seem to be worse. Don't remeber it being this bad for consecutive weeks. Thanks for posting!

Heading down in a couple weeks for our yearly visit - Seagrove this time. Noticing on beach cams that water has a tint of "June grass" green to it. Just looking for an update. Thanks Much!!

Any website out there that posts bacteria levels for vibrio vulnificus (flesh eating bacteria) in coastal waters?

Thought I would post some info on my attempts to find the artificial reef from a kayak launched from Grayton beach. Spent the first two days this week looking for it but no luck. On a calm day during the middle of the day I finally located it. I made note of some landmarks and thought I'd pass...

Anyone know where I can purchase a good beach umbrella. Something better quality that is good for the beach. Thanks!

Drove by right after this happened. Saw the poor man on the road and lots of blood. Prayers that he makes a full recovery.

Anyone know where "diver down" flags can be purchased?

What about these? They are all over the place West of Rosemary

Anybody been out to it? Any fish showing up?

I meant reef

Anyone know if the artificial reef is currently accessible? Can you get there by kayak? I have a anchor I use. Will wait for a calm day. Wondering if you can get there by kayak. Thanks!

Thanks!

Anyone can give me the legal size of Pampano tip to tail that can be kept?

Anybody know what channel NBC sports is here in SOWAL. Trying to get the USA v France game

I don't think it was a bunch of kids with shovels. I see large tire tracks. The outflow at the west end didn't do much because there is another birm on the east end by camp creek.

update - Looks like they opened up the outflow manually on the west end of Watersound. The Lake level has not changed all that much the docks are still almost under water. Another rain maybe. We are here until the end of next week. Will post if it goes.

I think if we get another rain like yesterday camp creek may be about to break through to the gulf. The docks are underwater and the level behind the sand berm is a couple feet higher than the area below it. The sand seems damp as well. I have only seen this happen one time and I came by it...

Thanks all! I will take the "wait and see" approach. I'll probably throw the poles in the car and head toward Mexico Beach or The Cape. Seems to be a bit clearer there this time of year. Regards cpete

June Grass Just asking for a June grass report.Hheading down in a week. Trying to plan my beach fishing locations. Thanks!!

Wondering if there was ever movement on this. I work for a software company and can office anywhere. My wife and I have been talking back and forth about spending most of the summer is Sowal, but I would need to rent a small office space. Any ideas? Regards, Craig

If want rent a pontoon and stay the day. We have taken kids ages 4 to 8 many times. I prefer using these guys. http://www.shellislandtours.com/ There boats are nicer and they take time to give proper instruction. Just be sure to call 2 or 3 days in advance. Be sure to spend some time on the bay...

I caught a spanish mackerel from paddle board on the second sand bar last week and saw what appeared to be two small sharks with black marks on their fins. Looked like they were chasing something. I was at Watersound beach and it was about about 6:30 am. They were at the point where the 2nd sand...

A little June grass is no problem like what there is in Watersound today. A week and half ago a different story. The combination of sargasum and June grass created a salad for a couple of days. Good thing about Sowal is there are a lot of options. You might try renting some kayaks and paddling...

A little more June Grass in Watersound today. It appears to settle to the sea floor or retreat offshore for a bit and when the wind picks up like today it gets a bit heavier. We have been driving to Mexico beach for the day when it gets a bit heavy. Still not as bad as a week ago. I would have a...

Camp Creek blew through a couple of days ago. Very cool.

Yes Watersound bad last week Great today and it seems to be getting better each day!!

We have been here two weeks and it was horrible about 5 days ago pea soup June grass with Sargasum weed in the mix (that's what you see on webcam). It has been getting slowly better. I heard it is clear in Destin. We went to shell island and it was clear (a little sargasum in the water). Mexico...

Thanks for the local perspective Kurt.

Staying at Watersound beach. Fishing is good catching lots of ladyfish and some pompano from the Versa board around the 2nd sandbar. I have seen two sharks and a sea turtle. June grass is heavy like pea soup. I was wondering if other folks in the area are experiencing the heavy June grass as...

You've made the right choice. My family has been coming to sowal for about 10 years now from Austin, Tx. We have tried several places in the area and have settled on a place called Watersound. Is is just down the road from Rosemary (which we have also stayed at). The things we like about...

Any June grass?

Looking to come down a bit early for our annual vacation. I was wondering if anyone needed renters for 3 night 7/3, 7/4, 7/5 Regards, Craig Peterson 512.468.4863

Anybody know if Camp Creek outflow is making it all the way to the surf?

The family is going to be in sowal two weeks this summer. I was thinking of taking a day and exploring a little east. Any recommendations on fishing guides (bay) in the St Joseph/Cape San Blas area? regards, Craig

Anyboby paddled up to Cypress Springs North of Panama City? Any info would be appreciated. Regards, Craig

Since we are spending two weeks in sowal this summer I am going to haul my Versa SUP board along. Anybody got the skinny on good bay/lake fishing in the sowal and surrounding areas that would be accessible by SUP fishing rig. Regards, Craig

Check the Seagrove Cam. Looks like the grass is there today. http://www.sowal.com/seagrove-beach-skycam

Making our annual trek in July. Two weeks this year! Staying at Watersound. I really appreciate the updates to this specific post. Yes. the beach is great either way but I like to know the status of the June grass. Usually to adjust fishing plans.

Spotty grass in Watersound thru July 23rd but clear as a bell as of Monday the 26th

Cool! Camp Creek appears to be at the 3:28 mark.

Does anybody know where one might rent some paddle surfing gear while in sowal?

Any advice on fishing using live sand fleas from the beach. Will be in Watersound next week with the family. :D

When you're there for a month you kinda want to mix it up. I may even take the family "go carting". Even that tourist trap bungee thingy so I can "lego my eggo" :D:D

Big Kahunas (Destin) or Shipwreck Island (Panama City)??
