The Gulf is a much better place to live than the Atlantic. Its a bit slower paced, the sunsets are beautiful, less expensive, and friendlier people.

I prefer the much calmer Gulf of Mexico and its snook fishing.

I can say that Ft. Walton and Navarre have the beautiful "sugar" sand beaches, and when my husband and I drove through the Gulf area Captiva and the Forgotten Coast were also amazingly beautiful. Sunrico you are lucky to live there. And I just got back from Oahu and Maui!

Happy New Year-sunny.

I guess the Forgotten Coast is still forgotten.
You left us out again!
Think about stopping at Cape San Blas, off 30-A (before Apalachicola).
The state park there is beautiful. The beaches are much nicer thant St George Island or Carrabelle (been to both.)
