    Cremated Remains

    Hi All, My husband and I have been visiting and loving 30A since 1996. We almost always stayed at Eastern Shores, had an inflatable boat, and he loved nothing more than fishing from it, both in the ocean and in Eastern Lake. We have had some wonderful meals from those adventures...

    Weather in November

    Gosh, thanks JodiFl - but I am unable to get past the light #79 onto 98. Can probably get there from 98 but would like to see the rest of your quote. Thank you for being so kind as to answer my inquiry. I have been coming to Seagrove since 1996, but never have flown. And there wasn't an...

    South Walton Beach Rules & Safety Info

    We are at Eastern Shores and someone left a tent frame on the beach 3 days ago. It is still there. If your county is so concerned about garbage left on the beach, why hasn't the county picked this up?? UNBELIEVABLE!!! Practice what you preach, or tourists are never going to believe you are...

    What In The World Is Going On?

    Please don't include all of us into one ignorant, uncaring group. I discovered this place 21 yrs. ago and look forward to visiting for two weeks every fall. I pick up litter on the beach, never leave anything behind, have spent a LOT of money in shops and restaurants. I have brought 5 couples...

    Tents Size Allowed On the Beach in South Walton

    Is it really worthwhile to do that? According to what I have read before one of your big politicians family owns a chair and umbrella service. You can't fight that kind of political raping.

    And when we do, your economic status changes. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. If you hate tourists move somewhere else.

    Tents Size Allowed On the Beach in South Walton

    Are you the codes enforcement useless B I saw driving down the beahc today? FU People need to know how to take care of our precious wildlife at the beach. If you aren't smart enough to research it, leave your fishing rod at home! Catching something on the beach that draws a crowd is not...

    Tents Size Allowed On the Beach in South Walton

    Just got here yesterday, today (at Eastern Shores) there were 5 tents on the beach. Just now a big white pickup with CODES ENFORCEMENT painted on it drove by and never spoke to any of them. What is he enforcing??? If the tent thing is going to stop signs need to be posted at every beach...

    Hurricane Irma

    I have been coming for 21 yrs. Before Alys Beach, Watercolor, Water Sound, and several establishments. I joined this forum when Daddi-0 started after we got evacuated from Hurricane Ivan, just a few days after we got here. It was our first year to get to stay 2 weeks and we were so...

    Sandestin Cottage vs. Eastern Lake Home - 1st Family Vacation...HELP!

    The second one looks fabulous. We love Eastern Lake and stay there every year, however we don't have kids. There are no amusement parks, water parks, etc. in Seagrove for the kids. And the house at Eastern Lake is a 3-4 block walk to the beach and the pool is almost as far. Also, you can't...

    A busy day in Seagrove Beach Today

    In Kurt's first picture you can clearly see the "pink" house that sits between the houses on S. Ryan Street and the beach. That is exactly where the walk over is for Summer's Edge. Lots of people in a small area.

    lifeguards searching at Seaside

    Don't know about the above but the victim did live at TN School for the Deaf in Knoxville. His parents live in Clarksville, TN, but the school is a live-in situation for all the students. He was an incredible football player and all around "good" young man. Would have graduated next spring...

    What did he catch???

    :idontno:Hubby caught a very unusual fish today, behind Eastern Shores, and we are unable to identify it. It was about 10-12 inches long, grey and white striped, and had fins on each side resembling "wings". Anybody have any idea what it was???

    Recipes for duck?

    I'm anxious to get an organic duck at Seaside Farmer's Mkt. while I am there, but don't really have a great recipe for cooking it. I like duck with a crisp skin and a sweet glaze. Anybody have an ideas? I saw some that were posted a few years ago, but we'll be in a condo and I don't have any...

    What is Commodore's Retreat called now???

    We loved Commodore's, however have also stayed at Eastern Shores a lot. We really enjoy it because we can be on the ground floor and walk right out onto the beach. Also is a very nice, friendly place. We always meet others there whose company we enjoy. Just be careful to pick out a unit that...

    You're a class act, Bobby J!

    Bobby - Good luck to you and your family. Collaborations was one of our favorite places in SoWal back in the day, and I have spent many a dollar there! I'll always remember you looking for something "antique monkey" for me. Chase your dreams and don't look back.

    New Construction at Eastern Shores

    Thanks, Gardening. We were told that building could not be rebuilt because of its location (and I was secretly hoping they were putting a pool in there).

    New Construction at Eastern Shores

    Does anyone know what the new construction on the west side of Eastern Shores is? Just remembered that last year while we were down there was some building going on. Thanks for any info!

    I just read the news on his blog that Jason passed away this morning. I have been following his story on here since it started. What a horrible tragedy. My condolences to his family and prayers for comfort and strength for them.

    Is this weird or NOT?

    Hubby and I saw a shark in the bay in October, while going over the 331 bridge. We went into a pool supply store for just a few minutes, and saw the shark again while driving back to Seagrove. Beautiful sight.

    Anywhere to have a good Sunday Brunch on 30A?

    :drink2: The word is "Fire". Tried it on 10/11, and it is the best brunch I ever had. The eggplant benedict was to die for! Hubby liked the beef and grits. The atmosphere and music were superb. Service was iffy, but the food made up for it. Recommended it to some people staying in our...

    Snake Bite

    :cool:For $5,000.00 and three Valium I will weed that yard for you. Just kidding - if I lived in a place like that (though it sounds beautiful) I wouldn't leave the house.

    Snake Bite

    :lolabove:Of course I am! However there are probably many snake-o-phobes, like me, out there, and if I could invent such a thing I am sure I would be able to afford a house like Charlie Hilton's.

    Snake Bite

    :yikes:I feel EXACTLY the way you do. I had never seen snakes at the beach until I started going to SoWal. As much as I love the place - I don't know why they don't put snake fences around the whole area!

    Soft shelled crabs?
