Whether it’s the warm sunshine, the soft sandy beaches or the crystalline aquamarine waters of the Gulf of Mexico, chances are something special has been drawing you to the Emerald Coast. From full-time residents to habitual vacationers, the Florida Panhandle truly offers unique reasons for so many to flock to this stretch of coastline, albeit for a week or a lifetime.
Nature continues to be one of the most localized resources in abundance in Destin and Santa Rosa Beach, and while the sugar-sand beaches and enchanting hiking trails of the Point Washington State Park could keep one entertained for a lifetime, the back bays, canals and bayous offer additional recreational activities. The rolling gulf waters often draw the crowds, but the serenity of waterfront homes north of the beach provides idyllic locales to relax and enjoy some of the best watersports fun the Emerald Coast has to offer.
