Things To Do
This is a wonderful area for everyone young to old to explore. The Emerald Coast has crystal clear, blue water as well as white sugar sand beaches. The intercoastal waterway is a dolphin breeding ground that is home to over 300 families of dolphins who love to come and say hi to their visitors. We hope you take the opportunity to explore and enjoy the area that we are lucky enough to call home. Here I have listed a few things to do when you are not soaking up sun on the beach.
