    Gulf Water Quality Results

    It just seems logical to me that the water quality will continue to deteriorate relative to the amount of people that visit the area. IMO south walton has been excessively advertised to the public and this is just one of the consequences of this. 30A has become a place where you can no longer...

    Good fish sandwich around seacrest area?

    We tried George's grilled grouper and thought they were seasoned perfectly and were outstanding. Wish I had one now. Modica is one of our fav. places in the area, really good food. Cakes are wonderful also, although not made in house.

    Hurricane Isaac

    Thanks Kurt for the vid. We are heading to Seacrest 9/7, hopefully there is still some white sand left or the ocean has brought some back in by then.

    That would be a question for the locals. I assume things will change significantly today concerning evacs. But I am just speculating.

    Family Circle names Seaside as a 'Best Destination' for Families

    Wife and I stayed at WC every yr from 2002-2009, love the area, however it has now become overcrowded in that area and we now try to avoid seaside. It is just to small an area for all the people that try to crowd in there now. The TDC advertising of SW hasn't helped any in that regard either...

    Rosemary Beach versus Seagrove Beach

    This is what we are doing this yr due to "overcrowding" in the areas of WaterC and seaside. Those places are just out of control with tourists and with no space to do anything. Seacrest and RMB remain somewhat quiet compared to those places.

    restaurants in alys/rosemary beach?

    Thanks, this is what we like to do when on 30A. Splurge on some pricey restaurants maybe twice while we are there. We have wanted to try Georges for yrs but havent got down that far, but this yr we are staying in seacrest so we will eat on that end most of the time.

    Going to shell island with a 3.5 yr old. Who do we use to get over there?

    Ok, I know nothing about this place. After limited research, I am still looking for answers from all you guys that are in the know. We are planning a shell island trip with a 3.5 yr old and would like to know who is the best "retailer" to use to get over there? I want to collect a ton of...

    Are there any good places to eat on Okaloosa Island?

    Are there any good places to eat on Okaloosa Island?

    Thanks for the responses. We will not be eating thai as the wife will not touch it. So its mainly going to be fish sandwiches and seafood fare. We just refuse to go to the tourist traps back in destin. We would drive back down to sowal for dinner but with a 3 yr old that is going to be...

    Are there any good places to eat on Okaloosa Island?

    Unfortunately, this yr we will not make it to Sowal but will be staying on okaloosa island. Just wandering if there are any good places to eat there that are not part of the tourist traps like in destin. thanks

    Compass Point at Watersound Beach

    The one we are considering is on the 2nd floor (prkg garage is 1st floor). We're hoping to see more pics of the beach/ocean view if there is one - it is facing west.

    sanctuary by the sea

    Is sanc. by the sea a good place to stay for a family of 9? How is the beach access set-up. Can we rent chairs/umbrella sets for the day? Just need some info on the place before we start contacting listings. Oh, we are not "lowballers" but we are also not Bill Gates. It just appears to me...

    78,000 sf Walmart coming to SoWal [opening June15]

    I am not defending walmart. If it happens the way you seem to "know" that its going to happen along 30A then I guess 30A will become another destin or PC and it will lose all its cache'. I guess also all the investment and land Joe has put into the pot will be all for nothing, nobody will...

    78,000 sf Walmart coming to SoWal [opening June15]

    No, I am saving on every product I purchase there, if I didnt it would defeat the purpose of going there. Two, I am not an impulse buyer and go in with a list. If I see something I think I want I ask myself do I need it? 99% of the time the answer is no. We do also go to publix for a few...

    78,000 sf Walmart coming to SoWal [opening June15]

    I will have to agree with you guys. After coming to SoWal for 8 straight yrs now, it is always such a pain to have to go into Destin for walmart to stock up for the week, I really dont care for Destin. The last two yrs we have brought our beautiful baby and it was really not a pleasant...

    120 foot pic of the milky way

    Gods creation is surely beyond words. The same God that spoke that into existence Loves us more than we could ever possibly fathom on this earth. Look at your child, if you have them, and you will get a glimpse of His Love for us.
