Hi all, this is Christopher from Tennessee. My family came to Santa Rosa Beach last June for the first time and it was also my first time ever seeing the ocean. I was overwhelmed! We are planning a trip back this August and have already booked a place at Gulf Place. I really hope that the oil stays away from the area and everything is clear for our trip! Have their been any projections for what the area might be like in early August with the oil? Also what should we put on out must see list to do or see? We will have our 12 & 16 year old children with us and our trip is Aug 12-15.
Can't help you on the Aug predictions, but I'm sure someone can. Hope you have a great trip. There are tons of recommendations on SoWal.com if you search. Some of my favorites are: Beach Red Bar (I'd say it's kid friendly--but what do I know. ) Bud & Alley's (Seaside) Farmer's Market Seagrove Market Barefoot BBQ Watercolor Store Pizza Bar Beach Beach Beach I'm sure others will chime in. As you can see, I spend most of my time on the beach or eating and drinking. p.s. try this thread... http://www.sowal.com/bb/all-about-sowal/48282-what-do-beyond-typical-touristy-stuff.html
