We're thrilled to visit Panama City Beach and Pensacola next month! We cruised the Florida Panhandle some years back but didn't have time to explore the area. We only saw Pensacola from our anchorage at Fort Mac Rae.
Our family got a timeshare at Marriott's Legends Edge for a week in September, so we'll have plenty of time to linger and enjoy the sugary white sand beaches that dot the Emerald Coast (aka the Redneck Riviera that stretches from Panama City to Pensacola,) as well as the Gulf Island National Seashore. We're determined to visit Pensacola and see the Blue Angels in practice at the Naval Aviation Museum.
We had anchored off Shell Island, across Saint Andrew Bay from Panama City, and marveled at the sparkling waters, the wildlife and the shelling. This time I hope to round up the gang and rent a pontoon boat to explore the seven miles of undeveloped paradise. Bring snorkeling gear, hats and lots of sunscreen, you all!

Getting excited. Care to share some of your favorite beaches in this neck of the woods?
This post is shared on Skywatch Friday.
...the white sand makes this beach bum envious! Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove the PCB sunset. Makes me want to be at the beach right now!
ReplyDeleteWe generally stay in Orange Beach, Alabama which is just across the state line from Pensacola. We have made a couple of day trips over their and we love the sugary white beaches at the pier. I can't recommend the Naval Aviation Museum enough and join one of their free tours, the guides have such passion and really add a lot to the experience.
ReplyDeleteLast time we were there we got to see the Blue Angels practicing and it is truly astonishing what they do.
Your trip sounds incredible!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos as always, Eileen!
Happy Tuesday!
Beautiful blog
ReplyDeleteVery nice blog written and also the pictures. What a beautiful clean white beach and the pier also very nicely photographed. It is really nice that I can also travel like this from behind my laptop. And this way I learn and see a lot, because I do not get that far. 😉Wish you many beautiful trips. Greetings, Tine
