Absolutely gorgeous beaches! Beautiful white sand. We've been going for several years and always in August which is hit or miss with the weather. We've been rained on 50% of the time for at least 1 day during our 4-5 day stay. More

Loved the pristine beach. The water was gorgeous everyday. It was so close to everything: grocery store, seafood market, liquor store. I will be back. More

Most beautiful beach I've stayed on yet. Sugar white sand and turquoise water. So much more peaceful and secluded than the other Florida panhandle beaches. Still very rustic and natural with sand dunes and sea oats. Great place to go to relax and enjoy the beauty without crowds. And shops and restaurants are only a few miles away in Destin. More

One of the best beaches in the world. White sand, emerald waters. Towards the pier (Brooks Bridge end of Santa Rosa Blvd) the beach gatherers are usually a younger crowd. The further west on Santa Rosa Blvd (a 2 mile stretch towards the military gate), the tourists and locals are often a quieter and family oriented bunch. The food and... More
