Does anyone know if there is a clubhouse area in the Seacrest Beach North area? Looking for a family friendly place that the guys can play pool with the kids? I also have been looking at the photo galleries.... what can we expect at the beach access we will have while staying at in the Secrest Beach North area? We have rented a home for the second week of June...this is our first visit to the area. Thanks for the info!

Hello Beth!
In my opinion, you will love Seacrest Beach North. We have a home there and the community is great for families, and the pool is amazing.
There is not a clubhouse in the development, and I don't know of a place to play pool ... but no doubt there is a restaurant/bar somewhere along 30-A that has pool. I have never been in a place anywhere along 30-A that isn't family friendly, and Florida has a strict law against smoking in restaurants, so you don't have to worry about anywhere they might find to hang out. We like nearby Shades at the Loop, a restaurant/sports bar. I don't think they have pool but they do have a small arcade.
The beach looks lovely. We were just there last month and it is nice and wide. The walkovers are new and safe and everything is fine. Seacrest also offers shuttle service, via a large golf cart, to the beach access for owners and guests.
If you have more questions, you've found the right place to ask!

You're gonna love it. I'm a full time resident of Seacrest Beach. The beach access if fine, you can have the tram drop you off if you're dragging stuff. Beach looks good. There's a sports bar right down the road at carillon beach but not sure if they have billiard tables. Googled these 2 in Destin:
Ruperts Billiards and Blues Bar, 850-654-5251, 34876 Emerald Coast Pkwy, Destin, FL
The Side Pocket, 850-654-6883, 205 Mountain Drive, Destin, FL
Does Snapperhead's have biliards? Anybody?
Snapperheads does have a pool table and I do believe that the spots bar in carillon is closed. Does anyone know different????

Now that you've mentioned it, I recall hearing that the sports bar closed. Was there end of October so sometime after that I guess.
OK edmonson, Snapperheads
Shades right near Seacrest Beach North is a sports bar. They may have a pool table but I don't know for sure. I saw a room with some video games in the back once. They have TVs for watching sports, a great atmosphere (regardless of whether you like sports bars -- quite elegant) and I like the food very much (inexpensive oyster po'boy sandwiches) -- and wireless Internet.

Shades does not have a pool table. The "game room" consists of 3 arcade video games. The closest family friendly place with pool tables is probably Rocket Lanes in the Edgewater Plaza in Panama City Beach. It is about 20 minutes east of Seacrest on Beckrich Road. There are pool tables, arcade games, a bowling alley, and a roller skating rink. It is a decent enough place and kids really enjoy it. Go during the day when it is quiet if you have young kids. The crowd at night is college aged and gets pretty rowdy. It is PCB after all.

This is good advice, CCK. We'll give Rocket Lanes a try, most likely when we're there off season sometime (e.g., our February trip). Is Edgewater the same plaza that has a movie theatre (I'm thinking about rainy days, of course).
