We left Fort Pickens, it was full for the next week. Valentine’s day, Presidents day and Mardi Gras all coming up. Mardi Gras is a holiday in many of these southern states.
This was at Fort Pickens. Piggy Pooch owner. . . Destin has lovely beaches, incredible water and is so crowded and touristy we kept driving. Miles of high rise condos, hotels, beach ware shops, real estate offices, miniature golf and restaurants.
South Fort Walton says ‘Find your perfect Beach’, it is just past Destin. Also too crowded and touristy to stop. It is like driving through a giant strip mall along this part of the panhandle. The Emerald Beach they call it. The beach is lovely, but way too popular here. We are now parked at Arnett’s Gulfside Stables and RV park. Tucked up in the pines.
The bus at the RV park. It is very quiet here. Fortunately it is not too crowded because the car is parked in the site next to ours. On the other side is an empty site before the next rig. We get used to having such nice big sites at the parks that we forget how tight the commercial RV parks are. John on Santa Rosa Beach. It is sunny and in the high 60’s, but the wind is chilly.
This cardinal was on our picnic table at Fort Pickens, but of course flew into the tree by the time I got the camera out. These sea gulls are bathing in a fresh water stream flowing into the ocean. Yesterday I was sitting at our picnic table and saw movement by my feet, I looked down and an armadillo was trotting through. Look snow fences on the beach! This is not a park beach, it is built up with hundreds of huge beach houses. The beach itself is lovely.
John where one of the fresh water streams flow in. He did relent and take his shirt off for the walk back. The sun was warm. This stream is braided coming into the ocean.
