    Murder in Seagrove

    This kid was working for the beach service at Beachcrest when we stayed there in 2010. I recognized the name when it popped up on the PCB Herald facebook page earlier today. Wow.

    Shout Out to Big Thunder Properties

    I couldn't let this pass without a big, check that, BIG shout out to Debi and Norton at Big Thunder Properties. We rented their condo, #505, at Beachcrest the week of June 12-19th, and had a FABULOUS time! Great unit, great location, well taken care of, and the weather co-operated, so a...

    Where to dine for freshest, local seafood?

    I'm not a huge oyster connoisseur, or even that big of a fan, for that matter, but if anyone's oysters are better than the Indian Pass Raw Bar's, I'd be very surprised. We ate there last year during our 25th anniversary trip, and actually dined on our actual anniversary night at the Owl Cafe...

    Where to dine for freshest, local seafood?

    Updated report...bayou omelette at The Donut Hole, with fresh crab meat is AWESOME! A.J.'s in Destin...too touristy. Shrimp O.K., a little too soggy for my taste. The Red Bar...best overall meal while there. Spent our last Friday night meal there, crabcakes and a blackened grouper special...

    Mid week update....been to Nick's, Bayou Bill's, Bud and Alley's Taco Bar and short road trip to Dee's Hangout in PCB. All were good, but Nick's and Dee's were both well above average, very memorable.

    Our situation is particularly acute, as the closest ATM of our bank is located in Jacksonville.

    Forms of Payment

    I've discovered a trend while budgeting for our trip NEXT WEEK! Two of the restaurants we're considering trying are either CASH OR CHECK ONLY (The Red Bar), or CASH ONLY (Gravel Road). Is there any source out there that can advise how many other Sowal establishments don't take plastic...

    Beach Portrait Photographer?

    We haven't had a family portrait made since the kids were little (their now 23 and 18), so we're planning to get one taken while we're in Seagrove June 12-19th. Any thoughts/suggestions? How far ahead should one book? Thank you for any and all responses!

    Best Route to Seagrove Beach from I-65?

    I did notice the last time we went to Destin the roads from Georgiana through Alabama were GREATLY improved...four lane, divided highways in the most rural areas you'd never expect them in a million years.

    Where to dine for freshest, local seafood?

    The first time we went to The Back Porch (circa 1982-ish) we LOVED their chargrilled amberjack, but it seems to have changed a lot...smaller portions and not as good as we remembered it from that first trip. We're basically looking for that "old" Back Porch, if it even exists anymore.

    Movie Night at Rosemary Beach?

    Anyone know what they're showing? The blurb on their website says family movies, but I doubt our 23 and 18 y.o. will want to relive Disney....or maybe they will, who knows?

    Best Route to Seagrove Beach from I-65?

    We've been to Destin 3-4 times over the last 15+ years, but never to Seagrove. What's the best route from the north? We prefer staying on I-65 past Montgomery to Georgiana, AL, then cutting over and down from there, but are willing to try different route. We went to Indian Pass last year...

    Hello Beach Nut Kurt and all!

    We're a family of three from Louisville, KY plus a recent college graduate living in the Cincinnati area. Headed to Seagrove in mid-June and can't wait! Last real beach vacation was FIVE YEARS AGO when our daughter graduated from high school, so we're super psyched. Went to Siesta Key then...
