    Traveling to the Florida Panhandle? Tips & Advice

    Thanks to all, this has been helpful. We usually mostly eat at restaurants when visiting 30A but now plan to stay home with our crew and cook in. I'm expecting the Publix near Watercolor and Goatfeathers seafood market to be slammed/cleaned out. Are there any recommendations for higher...

    Fried Crab Claws?

    Any suggestions for fried crab claws in the area? My kids used to order then at Bud and Allys but they no longer serve them. Every time we go to Bud and Allys they hope they'll be back on the menu.

    Seagrove Village MarketCafe - still serving deep fried love

    Modica Beer Selection

    Kudos to Modica for bringing a great craft beer selection to 30-A. The beer lineup has evolved over the past 2-3 years into one of the panhandle's best. Michael Fraiser is very helpful with beer recommendations and sends out regular Tweets to alert followers of new arrivals that often sell out...

    You've been warned

    What is the best time to hit Publix during busy times? I went at 9PM and it wasn't too crowded but only 4 registers were open and everyone there had carts that were busting at the seams with $500 of oreos, cheetos and Corona.

    SoWal Sushi - This Is How We Roll

    We frequent Basmati, Gathering Spot (Watercolor Inn) and Aqua to get our regular sushi fix. All are good; Aqua has the the largest variety. Sounds like we need to try Maries.

    Seafood Market Recommendations Needed

    I think you'll find similar prices for grouper at most places from 30A to Destin. I prefer the selection at Shrimpers to Goatfeathers but prices are generally within a dollar or 2 per lb.

    Carrier with best Cell Phone Service Coverage for South Walton?

    Best Cellular Carrier Coverage on 30A? I live in MS where Cspire has great coverage but I'm finding it impossible to use this phone on 30A, particularly indoors. I'd like to spend more time visiting 30a while tending to my day job but it is difficult to maintain the illusion that I'm not at...

    Dinner Recommendations for Destin or Sandestin area

    We rarely leave 30A to eat but need to stick around the Destin/Sandestin area while our daughter takes gymnastics lessons Friday night. Any recommendations for higher end restaurants in the area? (We're fans of Fish out of Water, Paradis, Cafe 30A, Chan's, Georges, Basmati, etc). Thanks!

    Transportation from Airport to 30A?

    Walton County soars in July real estate sales

    What is the current pulse of the market on SOWAL? There seemed to be a lot of optimism on this board and elsewhere earlier this year. After a tough 2010 I was expecting 2011 to be much better but it doesn't seem like 2011 has unfolded the way most expected.

    Destin vs 30A Beaches

    Do the beaches in SoWal tend to have more frequent algae than Destin's beaches do? I ask because the last several times I've been to Watercolor (we go about 5 times a year) there has been algae in the water. I'd become accustomed to this but went to visit family staying in Destin today and...
