Things to do
Face your fears! Snorkeling with stingrays
While most people come for the beaches and stay for the fun (what's not to like?), the Emerald Coast is not all about sun, sea, and sugar-white sands. You could spend a day at the Indian Temple Mound Museum in Fort Walton Beach. Built around a prehistoric Temple Mound, it has a wealth of Native American artifacts. Book an Emerald Coast vacation rental in Fort Walton Beach and you'll also be within splashing distance of the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park. It features a variety of Floridian sea life, dolphin and gator shows, and the rare chance to snorkel with stingrays - it's a great day out for all the family.
Activities
Peachy beach dreams on the Emerald Coast
Azure-blue seas and floury white sands, the picture-perfect beaches of the Emerald Coast are some of Florida's best-kept secrets. Book an Emerald Coast vacation rental and have a heavenly beach right on your doorstep. The local's favorite, Shell Island, is an uninhabited island close to spring break central, Panama City Beach, but you won't find tipsy sophomores here though. Fringed by sugar-soft sands and leafy mangroves, your only neighbors are wading shorebirds or bottlenose dolphins frolicking in the surf. Grayton Beach State Park is another popular example of when the beach gods got it right.
Weather
Emerald Coast : The land of sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows
With over 230 days of sunshine each year, Florida is not called the Sunshine State for nothing, and the Florida Panhandle sees some of the best weather in the U.S. Mild, bright winters, and steamy hot summers with highs of 90°F are not uncommon in July and August, but the cool breeze off the Gulf makes it more than comfortable. Spring is also a busy season. The Emerald Coast is one of the most popular spring break destinations in Florida, with thousands of college students making the pilgrimage here during the Easter college holidays.
Natural features
Islands in the Gulf stream
The Emerald Coast is not all about spring break and surf towns. Choose an Emerald Coast vacation rental near Santa Rosa Island and you'll discover some of Florida's most pristine sandy beaches, each lapped by the warm emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. At its heart is Pensacola Beach, a bird-watchers paradise with great egrets, ospreys, herons, and pelicans all calling it home. Spot Monarch butterflies fluttering in the dunes, while out in the shallow waters you'll find a variety of colorful sea life, including dolphins, sea turtles, and stingrays.
