Florida’s Coastal Adventures
Every year for this season we look for the best place to spend our vacations.
Woo… The best moment has come… The moment to rest and explore.
After months of work, stress, exhaustion and routine, looking at all the same places all the time… today, that is going to change, the time has come … we took to our computer and started looking for the best destination to explore and enjoy a well-deserved vacation, but … what did we find? We found countless pages with promotions and discounts. We started thinking, will those prices be real? Will these promotions be true? When we start to dig deeper we soon realize that in the comments from different people, we find that some are good, some are bad, and others appear to be great, and we think … OK perfect but now there’s another problem … how do we decide? We do not decide to go meet Mickey Mouse or enjoy the paradisaical islands of Panama Beach, or the cold but the whimsical Christmas celebrations in Tampa or even the joy and the Latin flavor that is Miami, what confusion… what a decision we must make for our next adventure. Well, the time has come to make the decision and take the surprise of the next adventure that lies ahead. In collaboration with your wife or with your family you all agree to take the leap to make a decision … the feeling is incredible, overwhelming, and a sense of power comes over you. You even have to take in fresh air but to go out for a walk is difficult. Why? You already have the wisest decision ahead of you… togetherness and adventure. We decide we are going to tour the whole state of Florida, now this will be an adventure of a lifetime.
We begin our tour of the main beaches of the state, starting the journey in Pensacola and continuing south, we must make a mandatory stop in South Walton located on the side of the Gulf of Mexico where in a tour along its entire coast one can appreciate its docks and beautiful beaches of white sand. Next you adventure to the coast where you have small coastal towns that run into one another. You begin in Miramar Beach which flows into Seascape and Sandetin, here you find a dock filled with different options to partake in extreme activities, enjoy a good drink all while watching the arrival and departure of the boats. You can even take a tour and enjoy the company of beautiful wild dolphins swimming next to you in the crystal blue waters, while having your chance at Snorkeling. One can even sit and enjoy the sun and the sea on a day filled with tranquility and wonder. As you begin to see the different colors of such a magical beach, the truth begins to emerge that such an enigmatic place to enjoy both alone or with your family.
As we continue our tour of the beautiful Gulf coast, we come to appreciate Dune Allen. This mandatory stop is for those who wish to live an experience where you find yourself in a magical place filled with a sense of calm and force. Where the lagoon meets the ocean and its imposing waves, to experience this natural connection is to truly witness the power of mother nature. This is Gulpe Place in Santa Rosa Beach, a place filled with calming water that encircles a small island, while connecting by way of channels to the fierceness of the sea. This becomes the paddle board adventure of a lifetime. As you begin to paddle you watch the afternoon sky fall and while the sun disappears in the east you close your eyes to meditate for minutes which feel like a lifetime as you sit in the midst of the gorge that joins the sea with the lagoon. As the waves hit your body you begin to feel the pull between the strength of the sea and the calmness of the lagoon. The sounds become overwhelmingly relaxing that your body feels one with nature. As you begin to open your eyes you find that you are now in pure darkness your guide is now from the light of the moon and the stars. Upon returning to where you started you begin to realize the spiritual journey that you encountered.
Continuing along our journey we find more breath taking beaches to explore such as; Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, Water Color, Seaside, and Seagrove. While all these are beautiful beaches to enjoy along the way, you cannot resist the sweet smelling atmosphere that is Watersound. A small coastal town that provides its visitors with a variety of restaurants next to the beach on one side while covering the other side in food trucks. But wait… behind the food trucks one will soon discover a small square surrounded by more places, to enjoy food, shopping and entertainment. You soon realize that time has passed in this magical coastal town, and your journey must continue on.
We continue along the South Walton coast, to find grandeur, elegance and wealth, in what is Alys Beach. Seacrets is next and then on to Rosemary Beach and Inlet Beach, until you arrive to your destination of Panama City. The city which can be described as having beauty, style, comfort, and wealth. SOUTH WALTON is a place composed of unending natural parks, beautiful white sand beaches that merge with crystal blue waters. An area where you can find endless activities, delicious restaurants and great cocktail hours. The people are friendly and quiet, and welcoming to tourists and guests. One can also see the development and construction that is taking place among the different properties. A real estate investors dream park, where land is for sale and popularity is constantly growing. A great place to invest your wealth, your life or to have a relaxing vacation.
For those who love to travel not only for adventure, but to experience the magic, beauty, tranquility and connection with mother nature, one must visit this breathtaking place.
