Blue Mtn Beach!!
I've heard the good the bad and the ugly. Now I want you to please tell me WHAT you LOVE about living in SoWal. NO NEGATIVES. I want this to be a Pollyana thread.

What is it that gives you that "I am so glad I moved here" feeling. Or "I am so glad to be a SoWal native." Or "I am so happy we have a beach house here."

I can tell you what I love :love:

I love being the the water with my mask and snorkel just hearing my own breath.
I love eating at Basmatis for lunch with the breeze on the porch.
I love walking around at night with my husband and dog just taking a stroll.
I love the fact that my dog gets to go to a real dog park - she has been without a social life for too long.
There's more, but this is my start.

Thanks in advance.

I love seeing my girls' footprints on the white sandy beach.
The sunsets in the Winter.
The warm tropical winds.
Being able to hear the whippoorwills (sp) in the Summer.
Watching the hawks hunt.
A summer sunset ride over the bay on the motorcycle with my arms around my Sweetie.

Thanks! I loved reading yours. Made me feel very peaceful and relaxed! :chill:

Know what? I've yet to see a sunset in the winter, so I have something to really look forward to! :D

I love hearing the white sand squeek when I walk on it , especially in the winter, when my footprints are the only ones on the beach.

Gidget: The colors of the ocean are different in winter...much more clear without the haze. There is a silver in there that is stunning.

And the sun rises and sets over the water. At the Whale's Tail, everyone claps when the sun dips beneath the horizon...it's like a countdown,it happens so fast.

I love being able to see the Gulf from 30A on my way to work.
Dune Allen area by "hurricane alley."

I love having my whole family living here.

I love the circle of friends I've aquired over the last 30 years.

I love the wonderful restaurants we have to choose from.

I love the laid back feeling compared to other places traveled.

I love the Sowal message board! :clap:

Thanks!
