North West Florida

Planning a beach vacation? Then you'll love Florida's north western Panhandle with its southern charm, fine white sand and pristine Gulf of Mexico waters that attract holiday makers to these shores from all parts of the world.

The region has a history dating back to the earliest settlements in Florida. Pensacola boasts and preserves a heritage dating from Spanish, French, English, and American conquests of the region.

The accommodation throughout north west Florida is plentiful with hotels, condos and beach resorts available to suit all tastes and in all price ranges.

The major beachside cities of Pensacola, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and Panama City Beach have long been favorite vacation destinations for holiday makers from the adjoining states of Georgia and Alabama.

This proximity has brought the charm and cultures of the Deep South that can be seen throughout this region. Its quite common to find southern cuisine on the local menus.

Generations of visitors have appreciated the gentle lap of waves on immaculate beaches, succulent seafood temptations fresh from the ocean and lots of entertainment for every age.

The rich ocean and inland waterways are a mecca for fishermen and anglers of all persuasions. Destin is one of the world's fishing capitals providing catches of amberjack, cobia, snapper, mackerel, grouper, sailfish, blue marlin and tuna.

The inland waterways attract anglers in search of bass, bream, catfish, and largemouth bass.  These waterways also offer excellent canoeing and kayaking opportunities.

Destin fishingWhile best known for its oysters, Apalachicola was home to the invention of the air conditioner, a device that has had a significant impact on the well being of Florida residents and the throngs of tourists now able to find comfort and relief from the summer climate.

It is a popular destination for day trippers and the town is undergoing restoration of many of the original buildings which house antique and craft outlets.
