Welcome to Floridas Emerald Coast!

Stay a week or stay a lifetime, the Emerald Coast of the Florida Panhandle is hard to resist. You'll never forget how you relaxed on the sugar, white powder sands, listening to the blue green gulf water. One of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, this 100 mile stretch offers vacations that you will never forget. From elegant houses to highrise condos, the emerald coast has it all.

The emerald coast mainly consists of Destin, Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa Island, Panama City Beach, Sandestin, and the Beaches of South Walton(Grayton Beach, Seaside, Watercolor, and Seagrove Beach).

With its clear turquoise green water, the Gulf of Mexico is waiting to be discovered. Try deep-sea fishing in the world's luckiest fishing village - Destin, or enjoy miles of unspoiled beaches that provide plenty of swimming, snorkeling, jetskiing or parasailing. Leisure activities abound, too. The Emerald Coast has many golf courses and tennis courts on which to play, paths to ride bikes, and state parks to explore. If you have one of those days where you just want to get out of the sun, try visiting one of the many museums or shopping centers.

When you visit the Florida Panhandle, expect something out of the ordinary and wonderful. Remember - if you are considering vacationing on the Emerald Coast - natural beauty is the main attraction.
