Florida Panhandle Beaches

2011-12-27T12:56:00.000-08:00

Maybe you’ve seen the breath taking photos of sugar white sand and emerald green water. You know they are in Florida but where at? The Florida Panhandle offers the nicest beaches in the continental US, hands down no other location compared. Once you step on the soft cool sand and glances towards the sparkling green hued waters you know you know you’ve found what you are looking for. But searching for Florida Panhandle Beaches will only get you so far. There are three major destinations and each is unique in its own way, although the beaches are all the same!

The most well known Florida Panhandle Beach is Panama City Beach. Originally famous as a top spring break destination this fun beach town has grown up over the years. Gone are the small mom and pop joints that welcome the party crowd. Panama City Beach hotels are reasonably priced and most offer easy access to the soft white Panhandle Beach sand. Check out http://panamacityhotelscheap.com for more information on accommodations and attractions.

If you are looking for something a little more upscale and refined, than Destin is the Panhandle beach for you. Less developed than Panama City Beach, Destin is home to only a handful of beachfront hotels. A more popular option is to rent a vacation rental home or condo. Head over to http://destinvacationdeals.com for tips and trick that will help you get the best rates.

A little less known than Destin and PCB is Pensacola Beach Florida. This area is by far the most laid back and you can find a nice selection of hotels on the beach in Pensacola at reasonable rates. This is a good option if you just plan on kicking back and watching the waves. For accommodations here check out http://cheappensacolahotels.com.

If you want the best beaches in the country, look no further than the white sand beaches of the Florida Panhandle. If white sand isn’t important, than check out Beachfront Florida Hotels for all major beach destinations in the state.

Even the ketchup is stacked perfectly. The employees are always nice, well groomed, and smiling. The service is shockingly amazing. This week is Louisiana's spring break and the restaurant was packed. We walked up and placed our order after a very brief wait. Before the cashier could hand me my drink our food was ready.

Comedy Night at Howl at the Moon

2009-04-06T13:14:00.000-07:00

Last night we had a chance to visit Howl at the Moon just outside of Destin. Every Sunday night they have a live Comedy show with 2 stand ups. If you get there by 8 you get in with no cover. They start off with their famous dueling piano show for the 1st hour. At 9 the opening comic takes stage. The comics travel around the country doing shows and for the most part are surprising good. Around 9:30 the main act comes on stage. The comic last night was hilarious. The entire room was laughing so hard they were gasping for air. Overall the show was great. The bar is right on the beach if you have a chance to catch them on a Sunday we would recommend this show. The average age ground was between 20-50. So pretty much everyone is welcome. Howl at the Moon is located on Okaloosa Island and the best hotel to book out there is Four Points by Sheraton Destin-Fort Walton Beach.

Destin Pizza!

2009-04-01T17:06:00.000-07:00

Looking for a quick meal while in Destin on vacation? Pizza is the easy meal that can feed the whole family without breaking the bank. Once you decide on Pizza it may be hard to find the perfect pizza place. We have decided to highlight a few of the great Pizza places in Destin. Since Destin is spread out a bit we have chosen several places in different areas.

The 1st choice we highlight is Jordano's. This family owned Pizza spot is by far the best pizza in Destin. They are located on the east side of Destin in the Miramar Beach area. They do not have a site so we can not provide a link. If you want to give them a try pick up the phone and call them at 850 654-8080.

For downtown Destin we recommend Mellow Mushroom. This is a fun chain that has a kind of wacky flair to it. I do not believe they deliver but it is a great place to stop in for a great pizza. They also have a large selection of beer for the adults.

For the west end of Destin near the harbour we recommend LandShark's Pizza. This is the one of the three we have not been to. We are recommending this location based off rave reviews from friends.

2009-03-30T18:26:00.000-07:00

We had some guest come in town this week and they really wanted to see the Destin Nightlife. We started the night with a few drinks and appetizers from Bone Fish. Bone Fish offers a chance for a mature sophisticated crowd to get out and have a good time. After a few hours of drinking and some great food we decide to give Club Overboard a chance in Downtown Destin. If you are looking for cheap drinks and a chance to dance this may be the place for you. The average age group in this bar seemed to be 18-30. They have 3 separate rooms with a DJ in 2 of them and a live band playing rock music outside. Club Overboard also offers a "Power Hour". Between 11:30-12:30 all well drinks and draft beers are only $1. Both places we went to were a very different crowd but we felt welcome at both. Be sure to check out http://www.doitindestin.com/ for more Destin Attractions and Night Life.

Rainy Day In Destin

2009-03-26T18:11:00.000-07:00

Sometimes it happens. It does rain down in Destin. Today was one of the few wet days. When you plan a trip to the beach bad weather is not something you want to deal with. When we get stuck with a rainy day we try and come up with activities that will help us make the most of it. Today we took a trip to the Air Force Armament Museum on Eglin AFB. This museum is just a quick 25 minute car ride from Destin. You do not have to be military to visit the museum. The admission is based solely of donations. The museum features tons of planes on the exterior as well as few inside. There is also a large collection of weapons, bombs, and other interesting items. We head to the Armament Museum at least once a year. It is informative for adults and a lot of fun for children. Be sure to try the astronaut ice cream in the gift shop. For more information on this museum or other Destin Attractions visit our site at http://www.doitindestin.com/.

Spring Fling Car and Truck Show

2009-03-13T19:01:00.000-07:00

It is that time of year again! Custom cars from around the country flock to Panama City Beach for the annual Spring Fling Car and Truck show. We plan to attend and enter our vehicle as always. The show is geared towards a younger crowd but is always fun for car enthusiasts of all ages. If you are down in Destin this is an event you may want to check out. Last year there was a large turn out and even though a few of us had a little too much sun, it was well worth the 30 minute drive from Destin. The show runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Tickets are $10 a day or $15 for the weekend. If you have little ones you may want to go on Saturday over Sunday because Sunday features the Bikini Contest. For more information on this event or others in the area visit our Destin Events Calender.

Wing Stop in Destin!

2009-03-12T15:37:00.000-07:00

We ended up missing out on the concert series at Baytowne this week. We did however try out the new Wing Stop Restaurant in Destin. Generally we try and highlight non-chain restaurants but since it is new to the area and a smaller chain so we thought we would share our experience. We started our wing search online. Their site was pretty easy to use and it allowed us to place our order without having to call. I did call to make sure it went through and they had already started cooking our food. I asked them generally how long they need to know in advance and they let us know they only need 15 minutes to get it ready. We tried their family special which included 4 flavors, 50 wings, and 2 sides for only $39.99. We ordered carry out and took it back to our office. All 4 flavors of the wings are pretty good. The sides are about average. We ordered the fries and the bourbon baked beans. The taste of bourbon was very noticeable and the kids did not enjoy them at all. Overall we did enjoy the food. The effortless online ordering and having the wings waiting when we arrived made it extremely easy. Click here to visit their site. For more Destin Restaurants visit our sister site. The season has officially started so stay tuned for more updates!

2009-03-07T09:58:00.000-08:00

Today is officially the first week of Spring Break. Destin will have a influx of vacationers the next few weeks. Unlike our neighbors in Panama City, Destin is a family oriented Spring Break area. So if you are making last minute plans or if you are packing to head on down, do not fear the wild and crazy parties you see on TV.

This week we are planning to check out the free Concert Series in the village of Baytowne Wharf. Hopefully next week we will have some good photos to share. This is a weekly series so if you are in town I would recommend stopping by. We have also just updated our Destin Event Calender with more details of this event and others.

New Blog for the Destin Area!

2009-03-06T14:15:00.000-08:00

We have been designing websites for several years and we are fairly new to blogs. I know it almost seems outrageous that we are just now catching on. The current projects we are working on include Cheap Destin Hotels, Destin Vacation Deals, and Do It In Destin. These sites are not completed but they are up and running. Feel free to give us some ideas. We live in the local area and we decided we wanted to offer a FREE Concierge program as a supplement to our sites. Our idea is to use this blog to give insight into the local area. We plan to update weekly with important content to the Destin area. We want to highlight Destin events, attractions, and deals to start with. If you are a traveler to our area and you have a question about anything feel free to send it our way and we can get it addressed.
